$55,000

  1. 130,147
  2. 127,946
  3. 104,842
  4. 42,020.

**Note from Member: I understand the formula to be the net cash generated each year to be multiplied by 5.74664 which is PVAF(8%,8YEARS). Ok. I also understand that the sum discounted cash flow should then be subtracted from that. ( In this case: 30,424 x 5.74664) = 174,836 which is rounded. NPV should = 174,836 - purchase cost $90,000. Can you tell me where I am going wrong please?
