Respuesta :

Answer:

B. $504

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value of this investment is shown below:

Year     Cash flow    PV factor at 8%        Present value

0           -$10,000             1                        -$10,000

1             $5,000           0.92593               $4,629.63

2            $5,000           0.85734                $4,286.69

3             $2,000           0.79383               $1,587.66

Net present value                                      $503.99

hence, the correct option is b. $504
