You are a strong advocate for a one$-$year investment project that would cost your firm $$10,000$ today but generate virtually certain earnings of $$15,000$ at year$-$end. Your firm's financial group concurs that the investment is virtually risk$-$free, but nonetheless, your boss is concerned about the firm's cash flow problems. In fact, the problems are so severe that the firm's bank currently charges it $20$ percent on one$-$year loans.

Using the concepts associated with the time$-$value of money, provide a $1-2-$page paper with calculations to support the narrative you would use to convince your boss to undertake the project.
