The correct answer is option e

e. Zero to $5,000

Explanation:

Net Present Value (NPV) : This is one of the techniques available to evaluate the feasibility of an investment project. The NPV of a project is the difference between the present value of the cash inflows and the cash outflows of the project discounted at the required rate of return

PV of cash inflows

= $15,600 * (1.15) ^ (-1) + ($15,600 * 1.15^ (-2) + ($28,900 * 1.15^ (-3) ($15,200 * 1.15^ (-4)

=53,053.92

NPV = 53,053.92-48,100

NPV = 4,953.927
