Peng Company is considering an investment expected to generate an average net income after taxes of $2,000 for three years. The investment costs $45,300 and has an estimated $7,500 salvage value.
Assume Peng requires a 15% return on its investments. Compute the net present value of this investment. Assume the company uses straight-line depreciation. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Answer:

$-7033.54

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator  

Cash flow = net income + deprecation

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

($45,300  - $7,500) / 3 = $12,600

Cash flow = $12,600 + $2000 = $14,600

Cash flow in year 0 = $-45,300

Cash flow in year 1 =  $14,600

Cash flow in year 2 =  $14,600

Cash flow in year 3 =  $14,600 + $7,500 = $22,100

I = 15%

NPV = $-7033.54

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute
