Net Present Value A project has estimated annual net cash flows of $10,000 for six years and is estimated to cost $45,000. Assume a minimum acceptable rate of return of 20%. Use the Present Value of an Annuity of $1 at Compound Interest table below.

If required, use the minus sign to indicate a negative net present value. Net present value of the project Present value index Check My Work
Solution
a. NPV = Annual Cash Flow * PVAF ( 20%, 6 Years) - Cost
NPV = $10000 * 3.326 - $45000
NPV = $33260 - $45000
NPV = - $11740
b. PV Index = PV Of Annual Cash Flow / Cost
PV Index = $33260 / $45000
PV Index = $33260 / $45000
PV Index = 0.74
