    It is not appropriate of you to assign your homework to others. To get help you should do the work as well as you can and provide your solution so someone can help you by pointing out where you are wrong and by explaining areas where you show weaknesses. You learn nothing if someone does the work for you.

    1. You have to find the present value of each cash flow, discounted at the given interest rate. Because the cash flows are not the same, you have to make 5 separate calculations and then add up the present values. A financial calculator does this most easily, but you can also use a spreadsheet function or a formula. PV = FV / (1+r)^n. So

    1

    FV = 386,627

    n = 1

    r% = 12.35%

    PV = ? == $244,127.28

    2

    -166,811.75

    3. etc.
