    c.$20,140

    Explanation:

    Net present value is the Net value all cash inflows and outflows in present value term. All the cash flows are discounted using a required rate of return.

    Initial investment in the machine is the cash outflow and the net cash flows are the values that are used for Net present value.

    Net Present Value = Present value of net cash flows - Initial Investment

    Net Present Value = (95,000 x 4.212) - $380,000

    Net Present Value = $400,140 - $380,000

    Net Present Value = $20,140
