Nielson Motors is considering an opportunity that requires an investment of $1,000,000 today and will provide $250,000 one year from now, $450,000 two years from now, and $650,000 three years from now.

We need to calculate the net present value. If the NPV is positive, the company should invest. The project will increase the value of the company.

NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]

Cf= cash flow

Year1= 250,000/ (1.10)= 227,272.73

Year2= 450,000 / (1.10^2)= 371,900.83

Year3= 650,000/ 1.10^3= 488,354.62

Total= 1,087,528.18

NPV = - 1,000,000 + 1,087,528.18= 87,528.18

it is a i took the test.
