Answer #1

Let the cash flow in Year n be CFn

Given, CF0 = -91000
CF1 - CF20 = 11000

Discount Rate = r = 8%

Net Present Value = -CF0 + CF1/(1+r) + CF2/(1+r)2 + CF3/(1+r)3 + .... + CF20/(1+r)20

= -91000 + 11000/(1+0.08) + 11000/(1+0.08)2 + 11000/(1+0.08)3 + .... + 11000/(1+0.08)20

= -91000 + 11000[1- (1+0.08)-20]/0.08

= $17000

Since the NPV is greater than 0, the project will add value to the stakeholders and hence should be accepted
