Answer:

$2,685.64

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Cash flow in year 0 = $-40,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 3 = $12,000

Cash flow in year 4 = $16,000

I = 8%

NPV = $2,685.64

To find the NPV 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.

3. Press compute
