Answer:
$10,479
Explanation:
Initial cost = C0 = -85000
Cash flow in year 1 = C1 = 10000
Cash flow in year 2 = C2 = 25000
Cash flow in year 3 = C3 = 50000
Cash flow in year 4 = C4 = 35000
Discount rate = r = 8.25%
Present value is calculated using the formula:
Present Value of the cash flows = PV = C0 + C1/(1+r)1 + C1/(1+r)2 + C1/(1+r)3 + C1/(1+r)4 = -85000 + 10000/(1+8.25%)1 + 25000/(1+8.25%)2 + 50000/(1+8.25%)3 + 35000/(1+8.25%)4 = -85000 + 9237.8752886836 + 21334.5849623178 + 39417.2470435433 + 25489.212868804 = 10478.9201633486 ~ $10479 (Rounded to nearest dollar)
