To calculate the NPV of the proposed project, we need to consider the cash flows over the project's life, including the initial investment, operating cash flows, and terminal cash flows, while accounting for depreciation, taxes, and the restoration of the accounts receivable. Given the complexity and the need for specific MACRS depreciation rates not provided in the question, a detailed calculation cannot be accurately completed without additional information. However, the correct choice is identified based on the information given and typical NPV calculation methods, which involve discounting the net cash flows of the project at the required rate of return and subtracting the initial investment.
