Solution

To calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) for the pig farming business, we need to discount each year's cash flow back to its present value and then sum these up. The formula for NPV is:

NPV = ∑ [Cash inflow / (1 + r)^n] - Initial Investment

where:

  • Cash inflow is the cash flow for each year
  • r is the discount rate (interest rate)
  • n is the year

Let's calculate:

Year 1: 25000 / (1 + 0.05)^1 = 23809.52 Year 2: 45000 / (1 + 0.05)^2 = 40816.33 Year 3: 40000 / (1 + 0.05)^3 = 34722.02 Year 4: 20000 / (1 + 0.05)^4 = 16402.87 Year 5: 19000 / (1 + 0.05)^5 = 14824.56

Adding these up, we get a total present value of cash inflows of 130575.3

The initial investment for the pig farming business is 105,000.

So, the NPV = 130575.3 - 105,000 = 25575.3

Therefore, the Net Present Value for the pig farming business at an interest rate of 5 percent is GHC 25575.3.
