I need the right answer please!!

Answer 1

ANSWER = c) $265880

NPV = Present value of cash inflow – Present value of cash outflow

= 865895.3 - 600000

= 265880

ANSWER = c) $265880

Present value of cash inflow = Annual Cash Inflow * PVIFA

= $200000 * PVIFA (5 %, 5years )

= $ 200000 * 4.3294

= 865880

Present value of cash Outflow = Cash Outflow * PVIF

= 600000 * 1

= 600000

2) ANSWER = A) $101,530

Year	Cash flow	PVF	PV of cash flow
0	-75000	1	-75000.00

4. When the net present value (NPV) method is used, an acceptable proposal is...

ANSWER = A. Projected cash inflows have a present value greater than the present value of the required outflows.
