Answer:

the net present value is -$72,050

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below

= $50,000 per year ×PVIFA factor at 10 years for 9% - $360,000

= $50,000 ×5.7590 - $360,000

= $287,950 - $360,000

= -$72,050

hence, the net present value is -$72,050

So the same should be relevant and considered too
