NPV =Cash flow *PPVF -65000 27575.04 27159.11 28215.48 17949.63

**Book value at end of year3 =65000-21664.5 -28892.5 -9626.5= 4816.5

Gain on sale = 15000-4816.5 = 10183.5

Tax on sale = 10183.5*.35= 3564.23

After tax sale value= 15000-3564.23 = 11435.78

**Cost of capital is assumed to be 10% since not provided in question.

PVF =1/(1+i)^n where i =10% ,n=1,2,3
