Use Appendix B and Appendix D for an approximate answer but
calculate your final answer using the formula and financial
calculator methods.
a. Calculate the net present value if the cost of
capital is 9 percent. (Negative amount should be indicated
by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round
your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Present value at year 3 = Annuity * [1 - 1 / (1 + r)n] / r
Present value at year 3 = 52,000 * [1 - 1 / (1 + 0.09)9] / 0.09
Present value at year 3 = 52,000 * 5.995247
Present value at year 3 = 311,752.8385
Present value = FV / (1 + r)n
Present value = 311,752.8385 / (1 + 0.09)3
Present value = 311,752.8385 / 1.295029
Present value = 240,730.3918
Net present value = Present value of cash inflows - present value of cash outflows
Net present value = 240,730.3918 - 270,000
Net present value = -$29,269.61
