    Answer: C. $4,312.65

    Explanation:

    Given the following;

    Cashflow:

    Year 0 - - - - 62,000

    Year 1 - - - 16,500

    Year 2 - - - 23,800

    Year 3 - - - 27,100

    Year 4 - - - 23,300

    Net present value (NPV)

    Internal Rate of Return (IRR) = 13% = 0.13

    Using the formula;

    NPV = year 0 + (year 1 : (1+IRR)) + (year 2 : (1+IRR) ^2) + (year 3 : (1+IRR) ^3) + (year 4 : (1+IRR) ^4)

    NPV = - $62,000 + ($16,500 : (1.13)) + ($23,000 : (1.13) ^2) + ($27,100 : (1.13) ^3) + ($23,300 : (1.13) ^4)

    NPV = - $62,000 + $14,601.77 + $18,638.89 + $18,781.66 + $14,290.33 = $4,312.65
