21 July 2024 The cash flows described are divided into three years: Year 0 (initial year), Year 1 to Year 9, and Year 12 (final year). To calculate the net cash flows for each year, sum up the inflows and outflows. The net present value (NPV) of these cash flows can be calculated by discounting them to their present values using a discount rate, such as a required rate of return or cost of capital.
