If the reinvestment assumption of the net present value method is used, what will be the total value of the inflows after five years? (Assume the inflows come at the end of each year.) (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. If the reinvestment assumption of the internal rate of return method is used, what will be the total value of the inflows after five years? (Use the given internal rate of return.
