    Closest to $ (54,390)

    Explanation:

    With a financial calculator and cashflow "CF" function, input the following to solve for NPV;

    Initial investment in machine; CF0 = - 350,000

    Yr 1 cashflow; C01 = 82,000

    Yr 2 cashflow; C02 = 82,000

    Yr 3 cashflow; C03 = 82,000

    Yr 4 cashflow; C04 = 82,000

    Yr 5 cashflow; C05 = 82,000

    and enter interest rate; I/Y = 12%

    then compute; CPT NPV = - 54,408.35

    Therefore, net present value of the proposed project is closest to $ (54,390)
