Auburn Concrete Inc. is considering the purchase of a new concrete mixer to replace an inefficient older model that is completely worn out. If purchased, the new machine will cost $100,000 and is expected to generate savings of $40,000 per year for five years.

What is the NPV of this five year project, if the cost of capital is 10%.
