Answer:

The present value of the project is  -$10,465.64

Explanation:

The net present value computation for Joannette Inc is set below

In year zero $520,000 and $600 would be incurred on the machine purchase and working capital respectively.

In year 7 ,the cash inflow of $112,000 and recoupment of net working capital would be recorded

NPV=-$526000+($112,000/(1+14%)^1+$112,000/(1+14%)^2+$112,000/(1+14%)^3+$112,000/(1+14%)^4+$112,000/(1+14%)^5+$112,000/(1+14%)^6+$112000+$52000+$6000/(1+14%)^7= ($10,465.64)
