Briarcliff Stove Company net present value

    Briarcliff Stove Company is considering a new product line to supplement its range line. It is anticipated that the new product line will involve cash investments of $700,000 at time 0 and $1.0 million in year 1. Cash inflows of $250,000 are expected in year 2, $300,000 in year 3, $350,000 in year 4 and $400,000 each year thereafter through year 10. Though the product line might be viable after year 10, the company prefers to be conservative and end all calculations at that time. If the required rate of return is 15%, what is the net present value of the project? Is it acceptable?
