The Miller Corporation is considering a new product. An outlay of $255 million is required for equipment to produce the new product and additional net working capital of $31 million is required to support production. The equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis to a zero book value over 10 years. Although the depreciable life is 10 years, the project is expected to have a productive life of only 8 years, and it is expected to have a zero salvage value at that time (scrap value = removal cost). Revenues minus expenses are expected to be $61.761 million per year for the productive life of the project. The corporation's marginal tax rate is 23% and the cost of capital for this investment is 8.3%. Compute the NPV of Miller's potential new product. (In $millions with 3 decimals.)
