As, 4th Year Cash Flow

= Salvage Value + Expected End Year Net Cash Flow

= $1,200 + $12,500

= $13,700

Year     Cash flow ($)             PVF at 8%             Present value ($)

0               37,500                         1.000                     -36,300

2                 12,500                      0.8573                 10716.25

3                  12,500                      0.7938                 9922.5

4                  13,700                      0.7350                  10069.5
