Question

A risky $420,000 investment is expected to generate the following cash flows:

Year    1    2    3    4
$    102,700        $    163,030        $    160,824        $    135,200    
If the firm’s cost of capital is 12 percent, should the investment be made?. Use a minus sign to enter a negative value, if any. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
NPV: $  

Should The investment   be made?

An alternative use for the $420,000 is a four-year U.S. Treasury bond that pays $25,200 annually and repays the $420,000 at maturity. Management believes that the cash inflows from the risky investment are equivalent to only 70 percent of the certain investment, which pays 6 percent. Should the investment be made? Use Appendix B to answer the question. Do not round other intermediate calculations. 
NPV: $  

Should The investment  be made?

Net Present Value (NPV) is a financial metric that measures the difference between the present value of cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows of a project or investment. The NPV formula is used to determine the profitability of an investment by comparing the present value of future cash flows to the initial investment. NPV is a widely used financial metric in capital budgeting and investment analysis. It is used to evaluate the profitability of a project and to compare different investment alternatives by considering the time value of money.
