Question

Morgan Clinical Practice is considering an investment in new imaging equipment that will cost $400,000. The equipment is expected to yield cash inflows of $80,000 per year for a six year period. At the end of the sixth year, the firm expects to recover $150,000 from the sale of the equipment. Morgan set a required rate of return at 10%. What is the net present value of the investment

Answer 1

Answer:

$33,091.95

Explanation:

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

NPV can be found using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year 0 = $400,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 =$80,000

Cash flow in year 6 = $80,000 + $150,000 = $230,000

I = 10%

NPV = $33,091.95

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

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
