    C. Yes, the project should be accepted since it has a NPV = $16,999.62.

    Explanation:

    Net present value is the sum of present value of all future cash inflows and outflows of a project using discounting method by a required rate of return. It measure the net value of the project's cash flows in present value term.

    Initial Cost = $91,000

    Cash flow per yea = P = $11,000

    Number of years = n = 20 years

    Cost of capital = 8%

    PV of annuity = P [ (1 - (1 + r) ^-n) / r ]

    PV of annuity = $11,000 [ (1 - (1 + 0.08) ^-20) / 0.08 ]

    PV of annuity = $11,000 [ (1 - (1.08) ^-20) / 0.08 ]

    PV of annuity = $108,000

    Net Present value = ($91,000) + $107,999.62 = $16,999.62
