Explanation / Answer

Present value of inflows=$104700*Present value of annuity factor(14%,6)+$83500*Present value of discounting factor(14%,6)

=$104700*3.889+$83500*0.456

=445,254.3(Approx)

NPV=Present value of inflows-Present value of outflows

=445,254.3-$387000

which is equalto

=$58254(Approx).
