    The project's net present value if the firm wants to earn a 13 percent rate of return is c. $4,312.65

    Explanation:

    The Net Present Value of a Project is Calculated by Taking the Present Day (Discounted) Value of All future Net Cashflows based on the Business Cost of Capital and Subtracting the initial Cost of the Investment.

    Using A Financial Calculator Cf Function:

    Cf0 = - 62,000

    Cf1 = 16.500

    Cf2 = 23,800

    Cf3 = 27,100

    Cf4 = 23,300

    IRR = 13 %

    NPV = 4,312.65

    Answer: C. $4,312.65

    Explanation:

    Given the following;

    Cashflow:

    Year 0 - - - - 62,000

    Year 1 - - - 16,500

    Year 2 - - - 23,800

    Year 3 - - - 27,100

    Year 4 - - - 23,300

    Net present value (NPV)

    Internal Rate of Return (IRR) = 13% = 0.13

    Using the formula;

    NPV = year 0 + (year 1 : (1+IRR)) + (year 2 : (1+IRR) ^2) + (year 3 : (1+IRR) ^3) + (year 4 : (1+IRR) ^4)

    NPV = - $62,000 + ($16,500 : (1.13)) + ($23,000 : (1.13) ^2) + ($27,100 : (1.13) ^3) + ($23,300 : (1.13) ^4)

    NPV = - $62,000 + $14,601.77 + $18,638.89 + $18,781.66 + $14,290.33 = $4,312.65
