Multiple Choice

  • $82,725.
  • $87,000.
  • $(4,275).
  • $9,300.
  • $74,736.

Expert Solution

Net present value is as follows;

Annual cash flows=Net income+Depreciation

=(3100+29000)

=$32100

 

Present value of inflows=Annual cash flows*Present value of annuity factor(8%,3)

=$32100* 2.577097

=$ 82724.81

 

NPV=Present value of inflows- Present value of outflows

=$ 82724.81- $87000

= $(4275)
