The investment costs $45,000 and has an estimated $6,000 salvage value. Assume Peng requires a 15% return on its investments. Compute the net present value of this investment. Assume the company uses straight-line depreciation. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your present value factor to 4 decimals.) Cash Flow Select Chart Amount x PV FactorPropent Value Annual cash flow Residual value Net present value

Explanation / Answer

Annual Depreciation=(cost-salvage value)÷life

=(45000-6000)÷3 =13000

Net present value=cash inflow - cash outflow

= {(14950×2.8550)+(6000×0.6575)-45000}

=1627.35

Net present value of project is positive.
