    -$4,889.94

    Explanation:

    The computation of the net present value is shown below:

    Net present value = Present value after considering the depreciation and discounting factor - initial investment

    where

    Present value is

    = After-tax net income + Depreciation expense

    = $1,700 + $15,000

    = $16,700

    And its discounting factor is 2.4018

    So, the present value is

    = $16,700 * 2.4018

    = $40,110.06

    And, the initial investment is $45,000

    So, the net present value is

    = $40,110.06 - $45,000

    = - $4,889.94
