Answer:

NPV = $100.4002 rounded off to $100.40

Explanation:

The NPV or net present value is the present value of a project or business's cash flows which are calculated by deducting the cash outflows from the cash inflows. NPV is a tool or criteria used for investment and project appraisal. The NPV can be calculated as follows,

NPV = CF1 / (1+r)  +  CF2 / (1+r)^2  +  ....  +  CFn / (1+r)^n   -   Initial Outlay

Where,

  • CF1, CF2, ... represents the cash flows in Year 1, Year 2 and so on.
  • r represents the discount rate

NPV = 660 / (1+0.075)  +  [ -85 / (1+0.075)^2]  -  440

NPV = $100.4002 rounded off to $100.40
