Your company is deciding whether to invest in a new machine. The new machine will increase cash flow by $320,000 per year. You believe the technology used in the machine has a 10-year life; in other words, no matter when you purchase the machine, it will be obsolete 10 years from today. The machine is currently priced at $1,700,000. The cost of the machine will decline by $106,000 per year until it reaches $1,170,000, where it will remain.

If your required return is 13 percent, calculate the NPV if you purchase the machine today. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
