Michael Company is considering the purchase of a new computer equipment to improve its production scheduling. This new equipment would cost $300,000 with working capital of $14,000 to be committed for the life of the asset. Management estimates that the equipment will improve after-tax cash flows (which already include the tax shield from depreciation) by $96,500 per year. The equipment will have an estimated useful life of four years with no residual value. Michael Company has a minimum required return for similar investments of 10%. Assume that the asset will be placed in service at the beginning of the fiscal year. Calculate the net present value for this investment opportunity.
