In cell D16, calculate the net cash flow in year 0 by adding the investment for year 0, cell
D13, and the government payment in year 0, cell D14.

In cell E16, calculate the net cash flow in year 1 by copying and pasting cell D16 onto cell
E16.

To calculate the present value of a future value you need to use the present value formula:
PV = FV/(1 + r)^n. In cell D17, calculate the value today of the net cash flow in year 0 by
inputting the present value formula with the following substitutions: the net cash flow in year
0, cell D17, as the future value, FV; the interest rate, cell D8, with absolute cell reference to
the interest rate, $D$8, for copying and pasting purposes as the discount rate, r; and the
year, cell D12, as the number of discount periods, n.

In cell D18, calculate the net present value by adding the value today of the net cash flow in
year 0, cell D17, and the value today of the net cash flow in year 1, cell E17.

In cell D22, calculate the amount to borrow today by dividing the amount to be received from
the government in one year, cell E14, by 1 plus the interest rate, cell D8, i.e., (1 + D8).

In cell D23, calculate the amount to be used today by making a cell reference to the
investment in year 0, cell D13, preceded by a negative sign (-) to denote a cash outflow.

In cell D24, calculate the amount that will be left after making the investment in year 0 by
adding the amount to borrow, cell D22, and the amount to be used in year 0, cell D23.

In cell D25, calculate the amount to deposit in the bank today to pay for costs in one year by
dividing the investment in year 1, cell E13, by 1 plus the interest rate, cell D8, i.e., (1 + D8).
(This will be a negative value since it is a cash outflow.)

In this problem, you will: a) calculate the net present value of an investment opportunity; and b) devise a way to turn the net present value of the investment opportunity into cash today. For the purpose of grading the project you are required to perform the following tasks: In cell d16, calculate the net cash flow in year 0 by adding the investment for year 0, cell. D13, and the government payment in year 0, cell d14. In cell e16, calculate the net cash flow in year 1 by copying and pasting cell d16 onto cell. To calculate the present value of a future value you need to use the present value formula: In cell d17, calculate the value today of the net cash flow in year 0 by inputting the present value formula with the following substitutions: the net cash flow in year.
