Answer:

NPV  = $5,926.226

Explanation:

The Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the Present value (PV) of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good and profitable investment project and a negative figure implies the opposite.  

NPV = PV of cash inflows - PV of cash outflows  

PV of annual savings= A×   (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

r- discount rate- 11%, n- number of years- 5, A- annual savings

    = 10,000 × (1- 1.11)^(-5) )/0.11 = 36,958.97

PV of scrap value = F × (1+r)^(-n)

r- discount rate- 11%, n- number of years- 5, F- salvage value - 5,000

     5,000× (1.11)^(-5)= 2,967.256

NPV =   36,958.97018  + 2,967.256 - 34,000

       = 5,926.226

NPV  = $5,926.226
