Answer #1
Ans. Option   a    $9,253
Present value of cash inflows $89,258
Less: Investment -$80,000
Net present value $9,258 (Approx. $9,253)
Present value of cash inflow = Annual cash inflows * Present value of an annuity of 1 of 12%
$26,000 * 3.433
$89,258.00
*Calculation of Present value factors:   (PV @ 14%)
Year PV @ 14%
1 1 / (1 + 0.14)^1 0.877193
2 1 / (1 + 0.14)^2 0.769468
3 1 / (1 + 0.14)^3 0.674972
4 1 / (1 + 0.14)^4 0.592080
5 1 / (1 + 0.14)^5 0.519369
Present value of an annuity of 1 of 14% 3.433081
