Suppose Pheasant Pharmaceuticals is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project (project beta) that will require an initial investment of $2,225,000. The project is expected to generate the following net cash flows:year cash flowyear 1 $375,000year 2 $425,000year 3 $400,000year 4 $475,000Pheasant Pharmaceuticals' cost of capital is 9%, and project beta has the same risk as the firm's average project. Based on the cash flows, what is project beta's NPV?a) -$1,053,449b) -$477,874c) -$877,874d) -$1,009,555

c) -$877,874d

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in :

Year 0 = $-2,225,000

year 1 = $375,000

year 2 = $425,000

year 3 = $400,000

year 4 = $475,000

I = 9%

NPV = $-877,873.94

1) the stages a new product goes through from beginning to end, i.e., the stages that a product passes through from introduction through growth, maturity, and decline. 2) the time from initial research and development to the time at which sales and support of the product to customers are withdrawn. 3) the period of time during which a product can be produced and marketed profitably.
