Required:

Compute the net present value of the project. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places, intermediate and final answers to the nearest dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Initial Investment = $320,000

Life of the project = 14 years

Annual cash flows = $49,000

Salvage value = $39,000

Discount rate - 11%

Present value annual factor for 14 years @11% = [ 1 - { 1 / (1+r)^n } ] / r

= [ 1 { 1 / (1+0.11)^14 } ] / 0.11 = 6.982

Present value factor for 14th year @11% = 0.232

Therefore, Present value of cash inflows = 49,000 (6.982) + 39,000 (0.232) = $351,166

Net Present value of the project = Present value of the cash inflows - Initial Cost

= $351,166 - $320,000 = $31,166
