Answer:

NPV = $45,472.30

Step-by-step explanation:

The NPV is the difference between the PV of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.

NPV of an investment:

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow

PV of cash inflows = 45,000 ×1 .1^(-1) + 45,000 × 1.1^(-2) + 40,000 × 1.1^(-3) + 40,000 × 1.1^(-4)= 135,472.3038

Initial cost = 90,000

NPV = 135,472.3038 - 90,000 =$45,472.3038

NPV = $45,472.30
