The company uses a discount rate of 12% and the initial investment is $360,000 (Click the icon to view Present Value of $1 table.) (Click the icon to view Present Value of Ordinary Annuity of $1 table.) Calculate the NPV of the investment. Should the company invest in the project? Why or why not? Use the following table to calculate the net present value of the project. (Enter any factor amounts to three decimal places, XXXX.) Net Cash PV Factor Years Inflow = 12%) Present Value Year 1 Present value of each year's inflow: (n = 1) Year 2 Present value of each year's inflow: (n = 2) Year 3 Present value of each year's inflow:
