    This is a bad investment because you will lose money. NPV of the investment = - $1.85

    Explanation:

    You need to calculate the net present value of the stock using your bank's interest rate as your own discount rate (8%). The cash flows should be as follows.

    year cash flow

    0 - 110

    1 5

    2 5

    3 125

    We can calculate this using an excel spreadsheet but since the number of years is small, we can also do it manually:

    NPV = - 110 + 5/1.08 + 5/1.08² + 125/1.08³ = - 110 + 4.63 + 4.29 + 99.23 = - 110 + 108.15 = - $1.85
