Zellars, Inc. is considering two mutually exclusive projects. A and B. Project A costs $75,000 and is expected to generate $48,000 in year one and $45,000 in year two. Project B costs $80,000 and is expected to generate $34,000 in year one, $37,000 in year two, $26,000 in year three and $25,000 in year four.

B. $42,000

C. $34,238

D.$21,378

A. $18, 097 

Explanation:

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

The npv can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = $-80,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $34,000

Cash flow in year 2 = $37,000

Cash flow in year 3 = $26,000

Cash flow in year 4 = $25,000

I = 10%

NPV = $18,097.12

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
