Multiple Choice

$(131,000)

$(144,128)

Initial investment $ 250,000 Annual cash flow $ 119,000 per year Expected life of the project 4 years Discount rate 8 %

Explanation / Answer

Present value of cash inflows = Annual cash flow * PVIFA (N,I) where N = 4 and I = 8%

Net present value = PV of cash inflows - Initial investment = 394135 - 250000

= 144135
