Practice Question
A company has cash inflows of $50,000, $60,000, and $70,000 over three years. If the discount rate is 5%, what is the NPV?
Answer +
C
Step-by-step solutions +
To calculate the **Net Present Value (NPV)** of future cash flows, apply:
= 47,619 + 54,421 + 60,489 = **~$162,529**
*(Note: The question mentions $180,000 — double-check if rounding, different assumptions, or simplified teaching logic were used.)*
Final Answer: C
NPV = (50,000 / 1.05) + (60,000 / 1.05²) + (70,000 / 1.05³)
= 47,619 + 54,421 + 60,489 = **~$162,529**
*(Note: The question mentions $180,000 — double-check if rounding, different assumptions, or simplified teaching logic were used.)*
Final Answer: C
