Explanation / Answer

NPV of Project at a 7% return:

NPV= Net Cash Flow *(1-(1+i)-n)/i –Initial Investment

        = $16300*(1-1+.07)8 /.07) - $69000

       = $ 28332.17

At a 7 % return the NPV is Positive. So we would accept the Project

NPV of Project at a 19% return:

NPV= Net Cash Flow *(1-(1+i)-n)/i –Initial Investment

        = $16300*(1-1+.19)8 /.19) - $69000

       = -$ 4543.84

At a 19 % return the NPV is Negative. So we would reject the Project
