Question

Adrian Sonnetson, the owner of Tarjee Motors, is considering the addition of a paint and body shop to his automobile dealership. Construction of a building and the purchase of necessary equipment is estimated to cost $809,600, and both the building and equipment will be depreciated over 10 years using the straight-line method. The building and equipment have zero estimated residual value at the end of 10 years. Sonnetson’s required rate of return for this project is 12 percent. Net income related to each year of the investment is as follows:

Revenue		$656,300
Less:
Material cost		69,900
Labor		151,600
Depreciation		80,960
Other		10,000
Income before taxes		343,840
Taxes at 40%		137,536
Net income		$206,304

Determine the net present value of the investment in the paint and body shop. (Round present value factor calculations to 4 decimal places, e.g. 1.2151 and final answer to 0 decimal place, e.g. 125. Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)
