Answer:
Net Present Value = $58,188 - $53,000 = $5,188
Explanation:
Net Present Value = Net Cash Inflow - Net Cash Outflow
Computing Net Cash Inflow Discounted @10% PV factor for each year = Â [tex]\frac{1}{(1 + r){^n}}[/tex] Where, r = interest rate = 10%, and n = period that is for year 1 = 1 for year 2 = 2 and for year 3 = 3
Year       Cash Inflow      PV Factor     PV
1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $22,500 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0.909 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $20,452.5
2 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $22,500 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0.826 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $18,585
3 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $22,500 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0.751 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $16,897.5
3 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $3,000 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0.751 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $2,253 (Working capital will be realized at end of project)
Net Cash inflow                          = $58,188
Net Cash outflow = Cost of fixed asset + Cost of working capital initially incurred
           = $50,000 +  $3,000 = $53,000
Net Present Value = $58,188 - $53,000 = $5,188
