Explanation / Answer

1. A project has a first cost of $14,000, uniform annual benefits of $2400, and a salvage value of $3000 at the end of its 10-year useful life. What is the net present worth at an interest rate of 12%?

Net present worth = -14000 + 2400*PVIFA(12%,10) + 3000*PVIF(12%,10)

Net present worth =  -14000 + 2400*5.65022+ 3000*0.32197

Net present worth = $ 526.45
