Dog Up! Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $715,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's 6-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $97,000. The sausage system will save the firm $207,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $59,000. If the tax rate is 22 percent and the discount rate is 8 percent, what is the NPV of this project? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
