    -$7,193

    Explanation:

    The computation of the net present value is shown below:

    Year Cash Inflows PV factor at 11% Present value

    0 $170,000 1 $170,000 (A)

    1 $41,000 0.9009009 $36,936.94

    2 $41,000 0.8116224 $33,276.52

    3 $41,000 0.7311914 $29,978.85

    4 $41,000 0.6587310 $27,007.97

    5 $41,000 0.5934513 $24,331.50

    5 $19,000 0.5934513 $11,275.58

    Total $162,807.35 (B)

    Net Present Value (NPV) - $7,193 (B - A)

    It is a difference between the cash inflow and the cash outflows
