Question:

$5,500;\) \($10,000;\) and \($15,000\) over a four-year period, respectively. At the end of their fourth year at the lake, they finally decide to really retire. The Williams sell all of their equipment to some local college students for \($3,000.\) What is the NPV of the business?

A. $3,512.02.

B. $3,512.02.

C. $3,698.30.
