The net present value of this project is $13,587,962.96

Explanation:

The Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows from a decision. A positive NPV indicates a profitable investment and a negative the opposite.

We can be work out the NPV of Turnbull Corp as follows

Present Value

Year 1 13000,000 * * (1.2^ (-1) = 10,833,333.3

Year 2 23,000,000 * 1.2^ (-2) = 15,972,222.22

Year 3 29,000,000 * 1.2^ (-3) = 16,782,407.41

Total PV of cash inflows 43,587,963.0

Less the PV of cash outflow (30,000,000)

Net Present Value (NPV) 13,587,962.96

The net present value of this project is $13,587,962.96
