1 92000 .909 83628

2 92000 .826 75992

3    92000 .751 69092

4 92000 .683 62836

5 92000 .621 57132

6    92000 .564 51888

7    82000 .513 42066

8    72000 .467 33624

9 62000 .424 26288

10 52000 .386 20072

820000 386 316520

839138

Net Present value = Present value of cash inflows - Present value of cash outflows

= 839138 - 920000
