present value

 A project to convert al medical records of a hospital to electronic form is estimated to cost $200,000 and to take 6 months to implement. The result of the project would be an immediate cost savings of $100,000 per year for the next 3 years. Assuming a discount rate of  5% per year, what is the approximate present value PV of this project?

A)$95,000

B)90,000

C)$272,000

D)$300,000

 C?

 

100/(1.05) + 100/(1.05)^2 + 100/(1.05)^3

95.2380+90.702946+86.383 = 272.32480293704783500701868048807

 

They are asking for PV and not the NPV
