    Net Present Value = $660.98

    Explanation:

    The Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the Present value (PV) of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good and profitable investment project and a negative figure implies the opposite.

    NPV of an investment:

    NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow

    PV of cash inflow = A * (1 - (1+r) ^ (-n)) / r

    A - annul cash inflow, r - 8%, n - 3

    PV of cash inflow = 41,000 * (1 - 1.08^ (-3)) / 0.08

    = 105,660.98

    Initial cost = 105,000

    NPV = 105,660.98 - 105,000

    = $ 660.98
