Answer:
B. $14,600
Explanation:
The annual cash inflows associated with the machine can be found by the following expression, where 'r' is the company's discount rate of 12% and 'n' is the useful life of the equipment of 18 years:
[tex]-investment+ X*\frac{(1 - (1 + r)^{-n})}{r} =NPV\\\\-\$100,000 + X*\frac{(1 - (1 + r)^{-n})}{r} =\$5,850\\-\$100,000 + X*\frac{(1 - (1 + 0.12)^{-18})}{0.12} =\$5,850\\X=\frac{\$105,850}{7.25} \\X=\$14,600[/tex]
Annual cash inflows are $14,600.
