    NPV = - $149,319.44

    Explanation:

    Ten cars will be needed, which can be purchased at a discounted price of $18,000 each. If this alternative is accepted, the following costs will be incurred on the fleet as a whole:

    Annual cost of servicing, taxes and licensing $5,100 Repairs, first year $3,000 Repairs, second year $5,500 Repairs, third year $7,500

    the required rate of return or discount rate for Riteway is 20%.

    Cash flows:

    CF₀ = - $180,000

    CF₁ = - ($5,100 + $3,000) = - $8,100

    CF₂ = - ($5,100 + $5,500) = - $10,600

    CF₃ = ($9,000 X 10) - ($5,100 + $7,500) = $90,000 - $12,600 = $77,400

    using an excel spreadsheet, we can calculate the NPV with r = 20%

    NPV = - $180,000 + $30,680.56 = - $149,319.44
