Determine the net present value of the investment if the required rate of return is 8 percent. (Ignore taxes.) (Round present value factor calculations to 4 decimal places, e.g. 1.2151 and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)

Net present value $=

Should the investment be undertaken?

The investment should / notshould be undertaken.

Explanation / Answer

Computation of NPV

Years Cash inflows Discount@8% Present value of cash inflows

1 39000 0.926 36114

2 39000 0.857 33423

3 39000 0.794 30966

4 39000 0.735 28665

5 39000 0.681 26559

6 39000 0.630 24570

7 39000 0.584 22776

Total cash inflows 203073

- initial investment (77000)

NPV 126073

NPV is better .the ivestment should be undertaken.
