The investor's discount rate, for an alternative safe investment, is 6.75 percent after tax. The expected return on this investment (received at each year-end) is as follows. 

Year 1: 1,562

Year 2: 13,949

Year 3: 18,151

Year 4: 10,676

Year 5: 6,463

What is the net present value of the investment under consideration?
