Question

Project A requires an original investment of $50,000. The project will yield cash flows of $15,000 per year for 7 years. Project B has a calculated net present value of $13,500 over a 4-year life. Project A could be sold at the end of 4 years for $25,000.

Below is a table for the present value of $1 at compound interest.

Determine the net present value of Project A over a four-year life with salvage value assuming a minimum rate of return of 12%. Enter negative values as negative numbers.
$____?_______

Explanation / Answer

Net present value   

Outflow                                                         (50,000)

Inflow(15,000*3.037)                                  45,555

Salvage(25,000*.636)                                  15,900

Net present value of A                               $11,455
