Calculate the net present value (NPV) for a 25-year project with an initial investment of $10,000 and a cash inflow of $2,000 per year. Assume that the firm has an opportunity cost of 17%. Comment on the acceptability of the project. The project's net present value is ?. (Round to the nearest cent.)
Net Present Value (NPV) of the Project
Net Present Value (NPV) = Present Value of annual cash inflows – Initial investment cost
= [$2,000 x PVIFA 17.00%, 25 Years] - $10,000
= [$2,000 x 5.766234] - $10,000
= $11,532.47 - $10,000
= $1,532.47
The Net Present Value (NPV) is $1,532.47
NOTE
-The formula for calculating the Present Value Annuity Inflow Factor (PVIFA) is [{1 - (1 / (1 + r)n} / r], where “r” is the Discount Rate/Cost of capital and “n” is the number of years.
