Using the method of your choice, calculate the Net Present Value of the following cash flows.

Assume that the required return on this project is 15%

Project A
Initial Cost -$ 150
Year 1 $ 175
Year 2 $ 100

A. $15
B. $35
C. $55
D. $70
E. $78

Answer: E. $78

Project A Discounted Inflows (@ 15%)
Initial Cost -$ 150
Year 1 $ 175 $175/1.15 = $152
Year 2 $ 100 $100 / (1.152) = $76

Compare to the $150 estimated cost:
NPV = -$150 + ($152 + $76) = $78

Remember: The Net Present Value represents the amount of value that will be added (positive NPV) or subtracted (negative NPV) if the project is taken on.
