The initial investment in plant and equipment is RMB 500,000.15 Sales of encapsulators in year 1 are forecasted at RMB 200,000 and costs at RMB 100,000. Both are expected to increase by 10% a year in line with inflation. Profits are taxed at 25%. Working capital in each year consists of inventories of raw materials and is forecasted at 20% of sales in the following year.

If the nominal discount rate is 15%, show that the net present value of the project is the same whether calculated using real cash flows or nominal flows.
