Dr. Rоss Geller's Pаleоntоlogy Depаrtment аt NYU is considering implementing a new faculty affairs system to track faculty contributions and academic excellence. While Ross seems excited about it, he is worried that the returns from implementing such a system may be negligible in the long run. He had Chandler, arguably his best friend, send him the numbers on estimated benefits and costs of the system over the next five years. What Chandler sent him looked like this: Benefits: Year 1: 10,000; Year 2: 20,000; Year 3: 30,000; Year 4: 30,000; Year 5: 40,000 Cost: Year 0: 10,000; Year 1: 15,000; Year 2: 15,000; Year 3: 15,000; Year 4: 15,000; Year 5: 20,000 Interest Rate: 1% Given this information, Ross wants to make sure, once and for all, that this system is, in fact, beneficial to the Paleontology Department. For that, he has to answer the following question: The total PV (Present Value) of benefits cash flows is 125,000. The total PV of cost cash flows is 80,000. The Net Present Value is defined as . Given this formula, the NPV for this case is:
