Answer:

C. $46,445

Step-by-step explanation:

The net present value is the value of the after tax cash flows when the amount invested is substracted from it.

Using the financial calculator to find the NPV:

Cash flow for year zero =$ -70,000

Cash flow for each year from year 1 - 4= $15,000

Cash flow for year 5 = $125,000

I = 12 %

NPV = $46,445

I hope my answer helps you.
