Answer: $8,382

Explanation:

First find the present value of the cash benefits which are the cost savings and the salvage value:

= (Cost savings * Present value interest factor of annuity, 5 years, 10%) + Salvage value / ( 1 + rate) ^ no of periods

= (16,000 * 3.7908) + 6,000 / ( 1 + 10%)⁵

= $64,378

Net Present value = Present value of benefits - Cost of investment

= 64,378 - 56,000

= $8,378

= $8,382 from options. Difference due to rounding errors.
