First, you have to find the PV of the 8 cash inflows @ 14% using this formula:
PV=P{[1 + R]^N - 1.[1 + R]^-N} R^-1
PV =100,000 x {[1.14]^8 - 1 / [1.14]^8 / 0.14}
PV =100,000 x 4.63886389.....
PV =$463,886.39 - This is net PV of the 8 cash inflows.
Second, you subtract the initial cost of $400,000 from above PV.
$463,886.39 - $400,000 =$63,886.39 - This is the "Net Present Value of the Machine".
