Respuesta :

Answer:

Net Present Value= $161.63

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

$10,000 is invested in a certain business at the start of the year.

The investor will receive $3000 at the end of each of the next four years.

Interest rate= 7%

To calculate the net present value, we need to use the following formula:

NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]

Cf= cash flow= 3,000

n= 4

-Io= -10,000

i=0.p7

NPV= -10,000 + (3,000/1.07) + (3,000/1.07^2) + (3,000/1.07^3) + (3,000/1.07^4)

NPV= -10,000 + $10,161.63

NPV= $161.63
