Concept Introduction:

NPV:

Net present value (NPV) is the method to evaluate the project feasibility. This method calculates the present value of cash inflows and outflows, and then calculates the net present value of the investment. A project should be accepted if it has a positive NPV. The formula to calculate the NPV is as follows:

  NPV = Present value of cash inflows  Present value of cash out flows

Answer to Problem 15.4.1P

The Net Present value for each project for each project is as follows:

    Net Present Value
    Radio Station $ 176,325
    TV Station $ 148,809

Explanation of Solution

The Net Present value for each project is calculated as follows:
