Cardinal Company is considering a five-year project that would require a $2,805,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years and no salvage value. The companys discount rate is 14%. The project would provide net operating income in each of five years as follows:

Sales			$	2,741,000
Variable expenses				1,125,000
Contribution margin				1,616,000
Fixed expenses:
Advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs	$	642,000
Depreciation		561,000
Total fixed expenses				1,203,000
Net operating income			$	413,000

6. What is the projects payback period? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

7.What is the projects simple rate of return for each of the five years? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. i.e. 0.12342 should be considered as 12.34%.)

12. Assume a postaudit showed that all estimates (including total sales) were exactly correct except for the variable expense ratio, which actually turned out to be 50%. What was the projects actual net present value? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round discount factor(s) to 3 decimal places, intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
