Affirmative: They will/would have arrived home by now.
Negative: They won't/wouldn't have arrived home by now.

Affirmative: He will/would have reached New York.
Negative: He won't/wouldn't have reached New York.

I was trying to change the affirmative sentences into negative ones. Could you please check them out for me and see if they are right? Thank you very much!

They seem fine to me.  "wouldn't have arrived home yet" is also very common.
