Answer:

$7,190.40

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value for the investment A is shown below:

= Present value after considering the discount factor - initial investment

where

Present value after considering the discount factor is

= Annual year cash inflows × PVIFA factor for 15% at 3 years

= $9,500 × 2.2832

= $21,690.40

Refer to the PVIFA table

And, the initial investment is $14,500

So, the net present value is

= $21,690.40 - $14,500

= $7,190.40
