If a small company is purchased now for $55,000 it will lose $9,500 each year for the first four years. An additional investment of $30,000 at the end of the fourth year will result in a yearly profit of P30,000 from the fifth through the tenth year. Then on the tenth year the company can be sold for $75,000. If the rate of return is 20%, will you buy the company? Use PWM.
