Answer:

TO solve this first we need to sort all the cash flows

Year 0 -28000 (negative cash flow as an investment 25000+3000)

Year 1 9000

Year 2 9000

Year 3 4000 (9000-5000)

Year 4 9000

Year 5 12000 (9000+3000)

Discount rate 14%

9000/1.14 +

9000/1.14^2 +

4000/1.14^3 +

9000/1.14^4 +

12000/1.14^5

-28000

Ans = B) $1079
