- $583,000

Explanation:

The computation of the initial investment is shown below:

= - (Today value price of land + current value of unused equipment + producing awnings cost + cost of other equipment)

= - ($395,000 + $38,000 + $12,000 + $138,000)

= - $583,000

The initial investment should always be displayed in a negative sign.
