At k = 10%, the NPV at t = 1 is:
$37,889, if CF’s are $43,500 per year, or $25,508, if CF’s are $23,500 per year, in which case the firm would not proceed with the project.
Project Y has an initial, up-front cost of
$200,000, at t = 0. The project is
expected to produce after-tax net cash flows of $80,000 for the next three years.
