"If $80000 is invested in a certain business at the start of the year, the investor will receive $30000 at the end of each of the next 3 years. What is the present value of this business opportunity if the interest rate is 2.5% per year?
Solution :
Cash outflow at year 0 = $80000
Cash Inflow at end of each of 3 years = $30000
Present value of cash inflows = Cash Inflow / (1 + r/100)^n
where, r= rate of interest
n= number of year
Year 1 = 30000/(1+.025)^1= $29268.29
Year 2 = 30000/(1+.025)^2= $28554.43
Year 3 = 30000/(1+.025)^3= $27857.98
Total Present Value of Cash Inflows = $29268.29 + $28554.43 + $27857.98 = $85680.7
Net Present Value = Present Value of Cash Inflows - Present Value of Cash Outflows
= $85680.7 - $80000 = $5680.7
