Answer:

Net Present Value = $23,775

Explanation:

Year Cash flow PV factor at 10% Present value

0         ($80,000) 1.0000                   ($80,000)

1         $35,000                  0.9091                    $31,818  

2         $35,000                 0.8264                    $28,924  

3         $30,000                 0.7514                    $22,542  

4         $30,000                 0.6830                   $20,490  

                                              NPV                   $23,775  

Net Present value = Sum of all present values from t=0 to t=n = $23,775
