    The Net Present Value is: $28070.2561

    Explanation:

    To calculate the present value you need to use the Net Present Value. The NPV is the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows over a period of time.

    The formula is:

    n

    NPV = - I0 + ∑ [Rt / (1+i) ^t]

    t-1

    where:

    R t = Net cash inflow-outflows during a single period t

    i=Discount rate of return that could be earned in alternative investments

    t=Number of timer periods

    In this exercise:

    I0 = - 48900

    Year 1 to 7 = 14600

    Year 8 = 14600 + 11000 (salvage value after tax)

    i=0,12

    NPV = - 48900 + 14600 / (1,12^1) + 14600 / (1,12^2) + 14600 / (1,12^3) + 14600 / (1,12^4) + 14600 / (1,12^5) + 14600 / (1,12^6) + 14600 / (1,12^7) + 25600 / (1,12^8)

    NPV = $28070.2561
