Answer:

Total PV= $26,176.63

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow:

Cf1= $5,700

Cf2= $10,700

Cf3= $16,900

To calculate the price of the investment now, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:

PV= Cf / (1+i)^n

PV1= 5,700/1.11= 5,135.14

PV2= 10,700/1.11^2= 8,684.36

PV3= 16,900/1.11^3= 12,357.13

Total PV= $26,176.63
