Present Value of a Lump-Sum

Explanation / Answer

Net Present Value = Present Value of Cash Inflows - Present Value of Cash Outflows

$ 5,057 = $ 20,000 *0.9709 + $ 20,000 * 0.9426 + $ 20,000 * 0.9151 + $ 20,000 * 0.8885 + $ 30,000 * 0.8626 + $ x * 0.8375 - $ 98,513

or x= $ 4,000

Hence the correct answer is $ 4,000
