d.$2,775

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below:

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

where,

The Present value would be

= Annual net cash inflows * PVIFA at 4% for 10 years

= $25,000 * 8.111

= $202,775

And, the initial investment is $200,000

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= $202,775 - $200,000

= $2,775
