Thurston Petroleum is considering a new project that complements its existing business. The machine required for the project costs $4.35 million. The marketing department predicts that sales related to the project will be $2.45 million per year for the next four years, after which the market will cease to exist. The machine will be depreciated to zero over its 4-year economic life using the straight-line method. Cost of goods sold and operating expenses related to the project are predicted to be 25 percent of sales. The company also needs to add net working capital of $175,000 immediately. The additional net working capital will be recovered in full at the end of the project’s life. The tax rate is 25 percent and the required return for the project is 10 percent. What is the value of the NPV for this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 1,234,567.89.)
Fox Co. is considering an investment that will have the following sales, variable costs, and fixed operating costs: Unit sales Sales price Variable cost per unit Fixed operating costs This project will require an investment of $15,000 in new equipment.

Blooper Industries must replace its magnoosium purification system. Quick & Dirty Systems sells a relatively cheap purification system for $20 million. The system will last 5 years. Do-It-Right sells a sturdier but more expensive system for $21 million; it will last for 6 years. Both systems entail $1 million in operating costs; both will be depreciated straight- line to a final value of zero over their useful lives; neither will have any salvage value at the end of its life. The firm's tax rate is 30%, and the discount rate is 13%. a. What is the equivalent annual cost of investing in the cheap system? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a positive value. Enter your answer in millions rounded to 2 decimal places. b. What is the equivalent annual cost of investing in the more expensive system?
