A $500,000 capital investment proposal has an estimated life of four years and no residual value. The estimated net cash flows are as follows:
Year Net Cash Flow Year Net Cash Flow
1 $300,000 3 $208,000
2 260,000 4 180,000
The minimum desired rate of return for net present value analysis is 12%. The present value of $1 at compound interest of 12% for 1, 2, 3, and 4 years is .893, .797, .712, and .636 respectively. Determine the net present value.
