Question

Crane Company is considering buying a new farm that it plans to operate for 10 years. The farm will require an initial investment of $11.80 million. This investment will consist of $3.00 million for land and $8.80 million for trucks and other equipment. The land, all trucks, and all other equipment are expected to be sold at the end of 10 years for a price of $5.20 million, which is $2.15 million above book value. The farm is expected to produce revenue of $2.00 million each year, and annual cash flow from operations equals $1.90 million. The marginal tax rate is 35 percent, and the appropriate discount rate is 10 percent. Calculate the NPV of this investment. (Do not round factor values. Round final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)
