Answer:
The right solution is Option a (-$6,678).
Explanation:
Given that:
Up-front cost,
= $250,000
Expected cash flows,
= $110,000
Assuming cost of capital,
= 12%
Now,
The expected net present value will be:
= [tex]250000+0.5\times (110000+25000)\times \frac{1}{12 \ percent}\times (1-\frac{1}{1.12^5} )[/tex]
= [tex]250000+0.5\times (135000)\times \frac{1}{12 \ percent}\times (1-\frac{1}{1.12^5} )[/tex]
= [tex]-6,678[/tex] ($)
