    a) Present value of the increase in annual cash flow = $25,449.57

    b) Present value of salvage = $2,553.41

    c) Net present value of equipment purchased = - $23,497.02

    d) Item should not be purchased.

    Explanation:

    As per the data given in the question,

    a) Present value of the increase in annual cash flow = $6,190 * 4.1114

    = $25,449.57

    b) Present value of salvage = $5,040 * 0.50663

    = $2,553.41

    c) Net present value of equipment purchased = Cash inflow - initial investment

    = ($25,449.57 + $2,553.41) - $51,500

    = - $23,497.02

    d) Since Net present value of equipment is negative therefore this equipment should not be purchased.
