Answer 1

-76,510, (76,510)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

$-76,447.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in Y0 = -630,000

Cash flow in Y1 - Y6 = 100,000

Cash flow in Y7 = 100,000 + 130,000

I = 10%

npv = $-76,447.56

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute
