Sawyer discount rate 6%. The net present value of project Y is closest to: O ($6,749) O$50,516 $6,749 O $35,376

Explanation / Answer

NPV = $50,516 Statement showing Cash flows Particulars Time PVf 6% Amount PV Cash Outflows = Investment in Working Capital                        -                        1.00                       (100,000.00)                       (100,000.00) PV of Cash outflows = PVCO                       (100,000.00) Cash inflows = Annual Inflows                    1.00                 0.9430                           18,000.00                           16,974.00 Cash inflows = Annual Inflows                    2.00                 0.8900                           18,000.00                           16,020.00 Cash inflows = Annual Inflows                    3.00                 0.8400                           18,000.00                           15,120.00 Cash inflows = Annual Inflows                    4.00                 0.7920                           18,000.00                           14,256.00 Cash inflows = Annual Inflows                    5.00                 0.7470                           18,000.00                           13,446.00 Cash inflows = Release of working capital                    5.00                 0.7470                         100,000.00                           74,700.00 PV of Cash Inflows =PVCI                         150,516.00 NPV= PVCI - PVCO                           50,516.00
