No, RiverRocks should not take on this project as the NPV is negative and hence the project is not financially feasible.

The net present value of the project is - $1.359 million.

Calculations:

Year (n) Cash flow 1+r PVIF = 1/(1+r)^n PV = Cash flow * PVIF
0 -          50.00           1.12                     1.00000 -                                   50.00
                1             10.00                     0.89286                                        8.93
                2             20.00                     0.79719                                      15.94
                3             20.00                     0.71178                                      14.24
                4             15.00                     0.63552                                        9.53
Total -                                   1.359

1+r = 1+12% = 1.12

PVIF = present value interest factor = 1/1.12^n

PV = cash flow*relevant PVIF for the year
