Suggested Answer: B

If the 8% return exactly equals the present value of the future flows ., NPV is zero), then simply determine the present value of the future inflows. Thus, Hopkins Company's initial cash outlay is $19,090 [($2,500)(PVIFA at 8% for 10 periods) + ($5J00)(PVlF at 8% for 10 periods ($2,500)(6.710) + ($5,000)(.463)].
