Year 3: 3,641
Year 4: 125,818
NPV=-$195,072.36
Step-by-step explanation
STEP 1
Present value of inflows=cash inflow*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
=134,724/1.0689+23,839/1.0689^2+3,641/1.0689^3+125,818/1.0689^4
=126,039.8540+20,864.7833+2981.3259+96,381.6749
=$246,267.6381
STEP 2
Hence NPV=Present value of inflows-Present value of outflows
=$246,267.6381-$441,340
= -$195,072.36
