The net present value of the investment in the machine is $1,767. $8,000 is the difference between the total, undiscounted cash inflows and cash outflows over the entire life of the machine.

Difference =  Undiscounted cash inflows - Undiscounted cash outflows = $35,000 - $27000 = $8,000. The undiscounted cash outflow, or the machine's acquisition price, has been set at $27,000. By lowering the cash outflow, the difference between undiscounted cash inflows and cash outflows is estimated.

According to the information provided in the question, the machine would save running expenses by $7,000 a year; as a result, it creates an annual cash inflow. The cash flows for each period of the machine's life are multiplied by the value according to the specified discounting factor. The machine's net present value is ($1,767), which is a negative number. As a result, the machine investment plan shouldn't be approved.
