Answer #1

a.Present value of inflows=cash inflow*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)

=19,000/1.12+17,000/1.12^2+8,000/1.12^3

=36210.82

NPV=Present value of inflows-Present value of outflows

=36210.82-$27,000

=$9210.82(Approx).

b.Present value of inflows=cash inflow*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)

=19,000/1.39+17,000/1.39^2+8,000/1.39^3

=25446.61

NPV=Present value of inflows-Present value of outflows

=25446.61-$27,000

=$(1553.39)(Approx).(Negative).
