    Which part of the question is causing the problem?

    The cash flows are (300,000) at time 0 – so PV is (300,000)

    For years 1 to 5 there is a net inflow of 120,000 – 30,000 = 90,000 per year. You discount these using the 5 year annuity factor at 10%

    In 5 years time there is an inflow of 20,000 – you discount this using the normal discount factor at 10%.

    (I assume you have watched my free lectures on investment appraisal?)
