 Compute the NPV for Project M if the appropriate cost of capital is 7 percent. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)  | 
| Project M | ||||||
| Time: | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 
| Cash flow | –$2,000 | $550 | $680 | $720 | $800 | $300 | 
| NPV | $ | 
| Should the project be accepted or rejected? | ||||
  | 
| Solution: | ||||
| NPV | $519.90 | |||
| Project should be : | Accepted | |||

| Year | Cash Flow | PVF @ 7% | Present value | |
| 0 | -2,000 | 1 | -2,000.00 | d | 
| 1 | 550 | 0.93457944 | 514.01869 | e |

| 5 | 300 | 0.71298618 | 213.89585 | i | 
| NPV | 519.90 | j= NPV = d+e+f+g+h+i | ||
| The project M should be accepted as NPV is positive $519.90 | ||||
| Notes: PVF is calculated @ 7% = 1/(1+0.07)^n where n is the year of cash flows for which PVF is calculated. | ||||
