A factory costs $290,000. You forecast that it will produce cash inflows of $85,000 in year 1, $145,000 in year 2, and $230,000 in year 3. The discount rate is 10%. a. What is the value of the factory

The value of the factory is $79,909.84

Explanation:

The computation of the value of the factory is shown below:

= Initial investment + annual year cash flows ÷ (1 + rate of return)^number of years

= -$290,000 + $85,000 ÷ (1.10) + $145,000 ÷ (1.10)^2 + $230,000 ÷ (1.10)^3

After solving this, the value of the factory is equivalent to

= $79,909.84

Hence, the value of the factory is $79,909.84

the answer is either c or b, i cant be to sure tho.

there was no passage listed but using the process of elimination i'd say it was d. the high economy would do the opposite. i don't see how low prices would affect it. high unemployment is possible but i feel d is the better answer.
