    ($65,118)

    Explanation:

    The computation of net present value is shown below:-

    Machine cost = $320,000

    Savings yearly = $62,000

    Periods yearly = 6

    PVIFA for 12% and 6 years = 4.111

    Present value of cash inflows = Savings yearly * PVIFA for 12% and 6 years

    = $62,000 * 4.111

    = $254,882

    Net present value = Present value of cash inflows - Investment

    = $254,882 - $320,000

    = ($65,118)
