    -$94,182.83

    Explanation:

    Total investment: $1,500,000

    Discount rate: 14%

    Cash inflow year 1 = A$ 1,000,000 = 1,000,000 * $.55 = $550,000

    Cash inflow year 2 = A$ 2,000,000 = 2,000,000 * $.60 = $1,200,000

    Net present value (NPV) = Cash inflow year 1 / (1 + discount rate) ^ 1 + Cash inflow year 2 / (1 + discount rate) ^2 - Investment

    = $550,000 / (1+14%) ^1+$1,200,000 / (1+14%) ^2 - $1,500,000

    = - $94,182.83
