Question

John Wiggins is considering the purchase of a small restaurant. The purchase price listed by the seller is $890,000. John has used past financial information to estimate that the net cash flows (cash inflows less cash outflows) generated by the restaurant would be as follows: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

Years Amount
1-6 $89,000
7 79,000
8 69,000
9 59,000
10 49,000
If purchased, the restaurant would be held for 10 years and then sold for an estimated $790,000.
Required:
Determine the present value, assuming that John desires an 11% rate of return on this investment. (Assume that all cash flows occur at the end of the year.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)

Answer 1

$763,057

Step-by-step explanation:

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 1-6 = $89,000

Cash flow in year 7 = 79,000

Cash flow in year 8 = 69,000

Cash flow in year 9= 59,000

Cash flow in year 10 = 49,000 + $790,000 = 839,000

I = 11%

Present value = $763,057

To find the PV 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
