      Net present value (NPV) = present value of inflows – initial investment Calculating PV of inflows:

      Inflow (profits) Discount factor Present Value
      10,00,000 0.89 8,90,000
      10,00,000 0.80 8,00,000
      30,00,000 0.71 21,30,000
      40,00,000 0.64 25,60,000
      50,00,000 0.57 28,50,000
      Total 92,30,000
      NPV = 92.30 – 300 lakh = -207.70
