    Hello sir
    Initial investment 1 million cash inflow year 1- 750000
    Inflow year 2 -500000
    Cost of capital year1-10%
    Cost of capital year 2-15%
    Calculate NPV of project?

    What they did is-
    750000* year 1Df(.909) =681750
    Now
    .909*.870 = .79*500000=395415
    So npv 77000(nearest)

    But why would we do this ?
    Is there any other alternative?
    Thanks sir

    For the inflow at time 1, we discount for 1 year at 10%.

    For the inflow at time 2, we need to discount for 2 years – for one of the 2 years the interest is 10% and for the other year it is 15%, so we discount for 1 years at 10% and for one year at 15%.

    There is no other way of doing it.

    I explain the logic behind the discounting in my free lectures.
