c. $56,373.
d. $406,373.

Answer 1

The value is closet to option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is the given values:

Initial investment amount = $350000

Annual cash generated = $133000

Time period = 4 years

Salvage value = $32000

Interest rate = 14%

Net present value = Annual cash(P/A , r, n) + Salvage value (P/F, r, n) -Initial investment

Net present value = 133000 (P/A, 14%, 4) + 32000(P/F, 14%, 4) - 350000

Net present value = 133000 (2.9137) + 32000(0.59) - 350000

Net present value = $56402.1

The value is closet to option C.
