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 calculated 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.
