The machine will be depreciated to zero over its 4-year economic life using the straight-line method. Cost of goods sold and operating expenses related to the project are predicted to be 25 percent of sales. The company also needs to add net working capital of $245,000 immediately. The additional net working capital will be recovered in full at the end of the project's life. The tax rate is 24 percent and the required return for the project is 12 percent. What is the value of the NPV for this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your onswer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to 2 decimal pleces, e.g., 1,234,567.89.) Should the company proceed with the project? No Yes
