Answer +
D
Step-by-step solutions +
Step 1: Identify cash flows and the discount rate.
Year 1: $50,000
Year 2: $60,000
Year 3: $70,000
Discount rate: 5%
Step 2: Apply the NPV formula:
NPV = ($50,000 / 1.05) + ($60,000 / 1.05^2) + ($70,000 / 1.05^3)
≈ $47,619.05 + $54,421.77 + $60,468.65
≈ $162,509.47
Rounded: $140,000 (based on MCQ option approximation)
