A five$-$year project has a projected net cash flow of $$15,000,$$$25,000,$$$30,000,$$$20,000,$ and $$15,000$ in the next five years. It will cost $$50,000$ to implement the project. If the required rate of return is $20$ percent, conduct a discounted cash flow calculation to determine the NPV$.$

Ans: $$12,895\mathrm{.}42$
