At the end of each of the next four years, a new machine is expected to generate net cash flows of $8,000, $12,000, $10,000, and $15,000, respectively. What are the cash flows worth today if a 3% discount rate is appropriate

Respuesta :

Answer:

Total PV= $41,556.88

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flows:

1= $8,000

2= $12,000

3= $10,000

4= $15,000

Interest rate= 3%

To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV1= 8,000/1.03= 7,767

PV2= 12,000/1.03^2= 11,311.15

PV3= 10,000/1.03^3= 9,151.42

PV4= 15,000/1.03^4= 13,327.31

Total PV= $41,556.88
