Since the cash flows are the same over the years (annuity) we can use PVIFA factor to calculate NPV
PVIFA= Present Value Interest Factor for an Annuity
It can be read from tables or calculated using the following equations
PVIFA( n, r%)= =[1-1/(1+r%)^n]/r%
Project A
Initial investment= $30,000
Annual cash flow= $21,000
We first calculate ...
