2. Your friend is planning to set up a food stall inside your village. You plan to sell items such as fish balls, squid
balls, instant noodles, soft drinks, etc. Based on your research, you will be needing an initial capital of P50,000.
Your estimate of the net cash flows for the next four years (your investment horizon) are as follows:

Year 1: P20,000
Year 2: P25,000
Year 3: P25,000
Year 4: P30,000

Compute the Net Present Value of the project, Will you pursue this business? Why?
 YEAR 1 YEAR 2 YEAR 3 YEAR 4

Outflows: 50,000.00

Investment

Net 20,000.00 25,000.00 25,000.00 30,000.00

Cashflow

Net Present (50,000.00) 20,000.00 25,000.00 25,000.00 30,000.00

Value

(30,000.00) (5,000.00) 20,000.00 50,000.00

- The Net Present Value (NPV) of the project is P50,000.00 and I will pursue the business because the
intended total of NPV is positive. If the NPV is positive, that means the investment makes sense
financially and the investment adds value for the investor.
