A publisher is deciding whether or not to invest in a new printer. The printer would cost $900, and would increase the cash flows in year 1 by $500 and in year 3 by $800. Cash flows do not change in year 2.If the interest rate is 12% Is the investment in the new printer feasible?

Yes, since NPV>0

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below:

= Present value of cash inflows - initial investment

where,

Present value of cash inflows is

= $500 ÷ (1 + 0.12)^1 + $800 ÷ (1 + 0.12)^3

= $446.43 + $569.42

= $1,015.85

And the intial investment is $900

So, the net present value is

= $1,015.85 - $900

= $115.85

Since the net present value comes in positive so the investment in new printer is feasible
