Question

You are making a $120,000 investment and feel that a 15% rate of return is reasonable, given the nature of the risks involved. You expect to receive $48,000 in the first year, $54,000 in the second year, and $76,000 in the third year. You expect to pay out $12,000 as a disposal cost in the fourth year. What is the net present value of this investment given your expectations

Answer 1

$5,681.08

Step-by-step explanation:

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

NPV can be found using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = $-120,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $48,000

Cash flow in year 2 = $54,000

Cash flow in year 3 = $76,000

Cash flow in year 4 = $-12,000

I = 15%

NPV = $5,681.08

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

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
