Calculate the net present value for the The Australian Mine

Calculate the net present value for the The Australian Mine

Explanation / Answer

Net present value for the The Australian Mine= -1637000+(335000/1.12^5)+(335000/1.12^6)+(335000/1.12^7)+(335000/1.12^8)+(335000/1.12^9)+(335000/1.12^10)+(335000/1.12^11)+(335000/1.12^12)+(335000/1.12^13)+(335000/1.12^14)+(335000/1.12^15)+(523000/1.12^16)+(523000/1.12^17)+(523000/1.12^18)+(523000/1.12^19)+(523000/1.12^20)+(523000/1.12^21)+(523000/1.12^22)+(523000/1.12^23)+(523000/1.12^24)+(523000/1.12^25)

NPV= -1637000+1804007.2= $167007.2
