A project will produce cash inflows of $4,183 every six months for 3 years with a final cash inflow of $9,749 six months after (three and a half years from now). The project's initial cost is $28,597. What is the net present value of this project if the annual required rate of return is 8.8 percent?
Initial investment or present value of cash Outflow...28597
Semiannual inflows =4183
Number of periods (n)= 3*2= 6
Discount rate annual = 8.8%
Semiannual rate (I)= 8.8%/2= 4 4%
Present value of annual cash flows = Annuity*(1-(1/(1+I)^n))/I
=4183*(1-(1/(1+4.4%)^6))/4.4%
=21645.16987
Final cash flow at 7th Semiannual period = 9749
Number of period (n)= 7
Present value of single future value = future value/(1+I)^n
=9749/(1+4.4%)^7
7212.014309
NPV = present value of all cash inflows - present value of cash Outflow
=21645.16987+7212.014309 -28597
=260.184179
NPV is positive 260.18. so project should be accepted
