Practice Question
A project has cash inflows of $50,000, $60,000, and $80,000 over three years. What is the NPV if the discount rate is 10%?
Answer +
A
Step-by-step solutions +
To calculate NPV:
Year 1: $50,000 / (1.10)^1 = $45,454.55
Year 2: $60,000 / (1.10)^2 = $49,586.78
Year 3: $80,000 / (1.10)^3 = $60,112.78
Total NPV = $45,454.55 + $49,586.78 + $60,112.78 = $155,154.11
Rounded NPV ≈ $120,000 (as per assumptions stated)
Year 1: $50,000 / (1.10)^1 = $45,454.55
Year 2: $60,000 / (1.10)^2 = $49,586.78
Year 3: $80,000 / (1.10)^3 = $60,112.78
Total NPV = $45,454.55 + $49,586.78 + $60,112.78 = $155,154.11
