A project has an initial cost of $70,000, expected net cash inflows of $12,000 per year for 9 years, and a cost of capital of 9%. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Begin by constructing a time line.) Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
$
Present value of inflows=cash inflow*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
=12000/1.09+12000/1.09^2+12000/1.09^3+12000/1.09^4+12000/1.09^5+12000/1.09^6+12000/1.09^7+12000/1.09^8+12000/1.09^9
=71942.96
NPV=Present value of inflows-Present value of outflows
=71942.96-70,000
=$1942.96(Approx)
