Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The net present value (NPV) of Project 1 is calculated by discounting the annual cash flows at the required rate of return (10%) and subtracting the initial investment. Using the present value of an annuity table for 3 periods at 10%, the factor is 2.487. Thus, NPV = ($10,000 * 2.487) - $20,000 = $24,870 - $20,000 = $4,870. The closest answer provided is $4,860.
