Calculation of NPV

Year Particulars Amount PVF @ 12% PV
1 to 10 Savings 20000 5.6502 113004
10 Terminal Cashflow 30000 0.322 9660
  (Salvage + working capital)      
         
  PVIF     122664
  PVOF (Machine cost + Working capital)     120000
  NPV (PVIF -PVOF)     2664

Since NPV is positive , we should purchase machine.
