    Explanation:

    The estimation of the net present value is shown below:

    = Present value of all yearly cash inflows after applying discount factor - initial investment

    where,

    The Initial investment is $180,000

    All yearly cash flows would be

    = Annual cost savings * PVIFA for 8 years at 12%

    = $35,000 * 4.9676

    = $173,886

    Refer to the PVIFA table

    Now set these values to the formula above

    So, the value would equal to

    = $173,886 - $180,000

    = - $6,134

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