5 Let us say Nice Ltd wants to expand its business and so it is willing to Evaluation
invest Rs 10,00,000. The investment is said to bring an inflow of
Rs. 1,00,000 in first year, 2,50,000 in the second year, 3,50,000 in
third year, 2,65,000 in fourth year and 4,15,000 in fifth year. Assuming
the discount rate to be 9%. Let us calculate NPV using the formula.
