Answer:

$(28,022)

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below:

Year Particulars Cost PV Annuity factor of $1 at 16% PV of cash flows

0 Initial machine Cost        ($440,000) 1.000 ($440,000.00)

1 - 7  Labor and other cost Saving $102,000 4.039  $411,978.00

Net Present value                                                     (28,022.00)

Refer to the PVIFA factor table

Since the net present value is negative so the project should not be accepted
