3y ago#1I have no idea which book you are using (I only have the BPP Revision Kit), and I am surprised that the answer in your book does not also show the workings.
The flows are:
0 (40,000)
0 12,000
1 - 4 12,000
5 (15,000)
Maybe you were showing the 15,000 as an inflow whereas it is a cost and therefore an outflow.
