Answer:

The answer is "- $42,012.87"

Explanation:

The  formula for calculating the Net Present value:                        

                      [tex]\text{ \bold{Net Present value} = Labour costs saving value +Operating capital value disclosed} \\[/tex]                                [tex]+ \text{Surplus value-machine cost- Working capital} \\ \text{current value Net -Working capital}[/tex]

   [tex]= \$ 113000 \times 4.11141 +\$ 7000 \times 0.50663 + \$ 53000 \times 0.50663 - \$ 530000 - \$ 7000 \\\\= \$ 464,589.33 +\$ 3,546.41 + \$ 26,851.39 - \$ 530000 - \$ 7000 \\\\= \$ 494,987.13 - \$ 537,000\\\\= - \$ 42,012.87[/tex]
