Answer #1

Answer is $(2,296)

Cost of Equipment = $39,000
Useful Life = 3 years

Annual Net Income = $1,500
Annual Depreciation = $13,000

Annual Net Cash Flows = Annual Net Income + Annual Depreciation
Annual Net Cash Flows = $1,500 + $13,000
Annual Net Cash Flows = $14,500

Required Return = 9%

Net Present Value = -$39,000 + $14,500 * PVA of $1 (9%, 3)
Net Present Value = -$39,000 + $14,500 * 2.5313
Net Present Value = -$2,296
