    Explanation:

    Description 0 1 2

    Equipment (40,000)

    Depreciation

    (40,000/10,000) * 4,000 (16,000)

    (40,000/10,000) * 6,000 (24,000)

    Savings 28,000 40,000

    Salvage Value 15,000

    Net Cash flows 12,000 31,000

    PV factor 1/1.1 =.91 1/1.1^2=.83

    Net present value

    PV factor*net cash flows 10,920 25,730

    (10,920+25,730) 36,650

    Net present value (40,000) + 36,650 = (3,350)
