Geary Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $1,142,400 is estimated to result in $380,800 in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five-year class (MACRS Table), and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $166,600. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $47,600, along with an additional $7,140 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. |

If the shop's tax rate is 31 percent and its discount rate is 13 percent, what is the NPV for this project? (Do not round your intermediate calculations.) |
