A project has an initial cost of $42,450, expected net cash inflows of $12,000 per year for 11 years, and a cost of capital of 14%. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Begin by constructing a time line.) Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
| Compuation of NPV | ||||
| i | ii | iii | iv=ii*iii | |
| year | Cash flow | PVIF @ 14% | present value | |
| 0 | -42450 | 1.0000 | (42,450.00) | |
| 1 | 12,000 | 0.8772 | 10,526.32 | |
