Click here to view Exhibit 11B-1 and Exhibit 11B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables.

The net present value of the proposed investment is closest to: (Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places, intermediate and final answers to the nearest dollar amount.)

$4,806

$1,701

$3,105

$24,000

  Cost of the investment $40,000     Annual cost savings $11,000     Estimated salvage value $5,000     Life of the project 5 years     Discount rate 10%   

Explanation / Answer

Present value of inflows=$11000*Present value of annuity factor(10%,5)+$5000*Present value of discountingfactor(10%,5)

=$11000*3.791+$5000*0.621

=$44806

NPV=Present value of inflows-Present value of outflows

=$44806-$40000

=$4806(Approx).
