    c. $74,450

    Explanation:

    The computation of the Net present value is shown below

    = Present value of all yearly cash inflows after applying discount factor + salvage value - initial investment

    where,

    The Initial investment is $120,000

    All yearly cash flows would be

    = Annual net operating cash inflows * PVIFA for 6 years at 14%

    = $50,000 * 3.8887

    = $194,435

    Refer to the PVIFA table

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the value would equal to

    = $194,435 - $120,000

    = $74,435 approx
