Solution

1. Depreciation expense

2. Projects Annual Net Cashinflows = Net operating income + Depreciation = $493000+$481000 = $974000

3. Present value of projects annual net cashinflows = $974000 * PV Annuity Factor 14%,5 years = $974000 * 3.433 = $3343742

4. Present value of equipment\'s salvage value at the end of 5 years = $400000 * PV Factor 14%,5 years $400000 * 0.519 = $207600

5. Projects NPV =$3343742 + $207600 = $3551342 (PV of annual cashinflows + PV of salvage value)
