Determind the net present value of this investment, assuming a 10% minimum ratn of return, use the present value tables provided above. I, required, round Present value of annual net cash flows Present value of residual value Total present value Amount to be lnvested Net present value Previous

Solution

Note: Amount to be invested not given in question, which is require to calculate NPV

Statement of annual cash flow per year from operation
1	Sales Per year	300*3500*450		$472,500,000
2	Variable expenses	300*3500*90		$94,500,000
3	Contribution Margin	(1-2)		$378,000,000
4	Fixed Cost			$98,280,000
5	Profit	(3-4)		$279,720,000
Thus Annual net cash flow is $279720000
