Step 1

Given information is:

Initial investment = $19,15,222

Project life = 10 years

Annual cash inflow = $698,670

Cost of capital = 8.04%

Step 2

Net present value of project = Present value of cash inflows - Initial investment

I don't understand how this answer is derived (in bold).  Present value of cash inflows = (Annual cash inflows * Present value factor @8.04% for 10 years) 

= 698670 * 6.6979

= $46,79,621.79

Net present value of project = 46,79,621.79 - 1915222

= $27,64,399.79
