    The NPV of the project is $974.

    Explanation:

    The net present value is the today's value of a stream of cash flows. The net present value will be the sum of all the expected future cash flows from a project less the initial investment required for the project and it is used to evaluate the investment decisions.

    The net present value of an investment project will be:

    NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r) ^2 + ... + CFn / (1+r) ^n - Initial investment

    or

    If the cash flows are constant or of same amount through out, occur after the same interval of time and are for a defined period of time, they become an annuity and the NPV of such a project can be calculated by,

    NPV = (Cash flow per period * Present value of Annuity factor) - Initial cost

    The NPV of this project will be = (2000 * 2.4869) - 4000 = 973.8 rounded off to $974
