Problem:
With a discount rate of 7.00% and a span of 5 years, your projected cash flows are worth $7,023.58 today, which is less than the initial $48,839.37 paid in order to begin. The resulting NPV of the above project is -$41,815.79, which means you will not receive the required return at the end of the project--pursuing the above project may not be an optimal decision
Please explain.
