Year	Investment in Equipment	Cashflow from operations	Working capital	Net Cashflows	Discounting factor @ 14% p.a.	Present Value
0	-1,88,000		-52,000	-2,40,000	1.0000	-2,40,000.00
1		91,500		91,500	0.8772	80,263.16
2		91,500		91,500	0.7695	70,406.28
3	17,000	91,500	52,000	1,60,500	0.6750	1,08,332.93
			Net present Value (NPV)			19,002.37

Option B is correct. B 19,002.37
