Answer: d)77,125

Computation of present value of operating cashflow:

Sl.No	Year	0	1	2	3	4	5	Total
i	Annual sales (given)		$292,000	$292,000	$292,000	$292,000	$292,000
ii	Tax @ 35% (i*0.35)		$102,200	$102,200	$102,200	$102,200	$102,200
iii	Operating cashflow (i-ii)		$189,800	$189,800	$189,800	$189,800	$189,800
iv	Purchase/sale of equipment (given)	-$805,000					$805,000*0.25 = $201,250
v	Net working capital ($292,000*0.365)	-$106,580					$106,580
vi	Net cashflow (iii+iv+v)	-$911,580	$189,800	$189,800	$189,800	$189,800	$497,630
vii	PVF @ 12.25%	1	1/1.1225 = 0.8909	0.8909/1.1225 = 0.7937	0.7937/1.1225 = 0.7071	0.7071/1.1225 = 0.6299	0.6299/1.1225 = 0.5612
viii	Present value of operating cashflow (vi*vii)	-$911,580	$169,093	$150,644	$134,208	$119,555	$279,270	-$58,810

NPV = PV of operating cashflow+PV of CCA tax shield = -$58,810+$136,000 = $77,190 (Note nearest option is selected)
