Explanation of Solution

The total amount of money spent on the new capital is gross investment. During the period of 2018, M has purchased $500,000 of new servers. Thus, the gross investment in 2018 is $500,000. At the same time, the market value of older servers falls by $100,000. This means that the depreciation of the older servers is $100,000. Since the gross investment is $500,000 and the depreciation is $100,000, the net investment is $400,000($500,000$100,000)
