    -$8,162

    Explanation:

    The computation of the net present value is shown below:

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

    where,

    Present value = Annual cash flows * PVIFA factor for 12% at 5 years

    = $8,000 * 3.6048

    = $28,838.40

    So, the present value is

    = $28,838.40 - $37,000

    = - $8,162

    Refer to the PVIFA table
