Answer:

$874.90

Step-by-step explanation:

we can calculate this using an excel spreadsheet or by hand:

cash flow 1 $100 discount rate = 11%

cash flow 2 $100

cash flow 3 $100

cash flow 4 $200

cash flow 5 $300

cash flow 6 $600

by hand = ($100 / 1.11) + ($100 / 1.11²) + ($100 / 1.11³) + ($200 / 1.11⁴) + ($300 / 1.11⁵) + ($600 / 1.11⁶) = $90.09 + $81.16 + $73.12 + $131.75 + $178.04 + $320.74 = $874.90

using excel and the NPV function = $874.94
