NPV = $262,604.7

Explanation:

The NPV is the difference between the PV of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.

NPV of an investment:

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow

PV of annuity = 1 - (1+r) ^ (-n) / r * Annual cash flow

r - discount rate, n - number of years

PV of cashinflow = 133,000 * (1 - 1.13^ (-4)) / 0.13 = 395,604.6863

NPV = 395,604.6863 - 133,000 = 262,604.7

NPV = $262,604.7
