In order to calculate NPV for the 5 year horizon period, let us first PV for each year via the following formula:

Rt/(1+i)t

Where:

R= Net cash flow (inflow minus outflow)
T= Time frame
i= Discount rate (10% or .10 in this case)

Present value figures will be as follows:

T= 0
-90,000 (-90,000)/(1+.10)0= -90,000
T=1
(50,000)/(1+.10)1= 9091

T=2
(55,000)/(1+.10)2= ...
