Answer:
a. What is the initial investment at t=0?
b. What is the Cash Flow at year 1?
c. What is the Cash Flow at year 3?
d. What is NPV?
Explanation:
Initial investment amounts to $90,000
Annual depreciation calculated using straight-line depreciation method = $90,000 / 3 = $30,000
Year 1 cash flow = [($40,000 - $5,000 - $30,000) × 0.79] + $30,000 = $33,950
Year 2 cash flow = [($45,000 - $6,000 - $30,000) × 0.79] + $30,000 = $37,110
Year 3 cash flow = [($50,000 - $7,000 - $30,000) × 0.79] + $30,000 = $40,270
Using an Excel spreadsheet, I calculated the NPV = $1,788.50
