By (8.1),

NPV\ =\ -|CF_0|\ +\ \sum\limits_{j=0}^{n}{CF_j(P/F,\ i\%,\ j)} (8.1)

NPV = -$6000 + $4000(P/F, 15%,1)+ $2000(P/F, 15%,2)

– $3000(P/F, 15%, 3) – $2000(P/F, 15%, 4)+ $3000(P/F, 15%, 5)

= -$6000 + $4000(1.1500)^{-1} + $2000(1.3225)^{-1}

-$3000(1.5209)^{-1} – $2000(1.7490)^{-1} + $3000(2.0114)^{-1}

= -$2633.99
