A) |
$1,275,749 |

|
B) |
$2,919,806 |

|
C) |
$4,669,542 |

The NPV of the project is computed as shown below:
= Initial Investment + Cash flow in year 1 / ( 1 + required rate of return )1 + Cash flow in year 2 / ( 1 + required rate of return )2 + Cash flow in year 3 / ( 1 + required rate of return )3 + Cash flow in year 4 / ( 1 + required rate of return )4
= - $ 1,850,000 + $ 745,000 / 1.1251 + $ 950,000 / 1.1252 + $ 1,150,000 / 1.1253 + $ 1,450,000 / 1.1254
= $ 1,275,749 Approximately
So the correct answer is option A i.e. $ 1,275,749
