In the following exercise, calculate the net present value (NPV) at a required return of 15 percent.
Year Cash Flow
0 -$1,000 (initial investment)
1 95
2 55
Present value = (Future value) / (1+rate)^2 .
Ans NPV = -$875.80
| Year | Project Cash Flows (i) | DF@ 15% | DF@ 15% (ii) | PV of Project ( (i) * (ii) ) | 
| 0 | -1000 | 1 | 1 | (1,000.00) | 
| 1 | 95 | 1/((1+15%)^1) | 0.869565 | 82.61 | 
| 2 | 55 | 1/((1+15%)^2) | 0.756144 | 41.59 | 
| NPV | (875.80) | |||
