    NPV = (47,075.38)

    Explanation:

    Net Present value (NPV) is method of evaluating investment proposal that considers the time value. To compute the NPV we do as follows:

    NPV = Present Value of Cash inflow - Initial cost

    Cash inflow is computed as follows:

    Sales revenue - Variable cost - out of pocket fixed cost

    Note that depreciation is not an item of cash out flow, so we do not include it in the calculation,

    Annual cash inflow=

    4,3000,000-1,900,000-765,000

    = 1,635,000.

    PV of cash inflow

    = A * (1 - (1+r) ^ (-n)) / r

    = 1,635,000 * (1 - (1.18) ^ (-5)) / 0.18

    = 1,635,000 * 3.127171021

    = 5,112,924.62

    NPV = 5,112,924.62 - 5,160,000

    NPV = (47,075.38)
