Helga is considering the purchase of a small restaurant. The purchase price listed by the seller is $$870,000.$ Helga has used past financial information to estimate that the net cash flows $($cash inflows less cash outflows$)$ generated by the restaurant would be as follows:

Years Amount

$1-6$ $ $87,000$

$777,000$

$867,000$

$957,000$

$1047,000$

If purchased, the restaurant would be held for $10$ years and then sold for an estimated $$770,000.$

Required:

Determine the present value, assuming that Helga desires a $9\%$ rate of return on this investment. $($Assume that all cash flows occur at the end of the year.$)$
