Hillsong Inc. manufactures snowsuits. Hillsong is considering
purchasing a new sewing machine at a cost of $2.45 million. Its
existing machine was purchased five years ago at a price of $1.8
million; six months ago, Hillsong spent $55,000 to keep it
operational. The existing sewing machine can be sold today for
$239,855. The new sewing machine would require a one-time, $85,000
training cost. Operating costs would decrease by the following
amounts for years 1 to 7:
The new sewing machine would be depreciated according to the
declining-balance method at a rate of 20%. The salvage value is
expected to be $380,600. This new equipment would require
maintenance costs of $94,400 at the end of the fifth year. The
cost of capital is 9%.

following: (If net present value is negative
then enter with negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or
parentheses e.g. (45). Round present value answer to 0 decimal
places, e.g. 125. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as
