5) The Blueberry Company is considering a project which will cost $424 initially. The project will not produce any cash flows for the first 3 years. Starting in year 4, the project will produce cash inflows of $454 a year for 5 years. This project is risky, so the firm has assigned it a discount rate of 15.4 percent. What is the net present value?
