Timothy is considering an investment of $10,000. This investment is supposedly going to provide him with cash inflows of $2,500 in the first year and $6,000 a year for the following 2 years. At a discount rate of zero percent this investment has a net present value (NPV) of _____, but at the relevant discount rate of 18 percent the project's NPV is: a. $4,500; $62.03. b. -$1,500; $62.03. c. $4,500; $79.54. d. -$1,500; $79.54. e. $6,000; $98.48.
At 0% discount NPV = -10,000 + 2500 + 6000 + 6000 = 4500

2,500.000 | 1 | 2,118.64 | (7,881.36) |
