# !11 Dog Up! Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $514,800. 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 $79,200. The sausage system will save the firm $158,400 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $36,960.

Required: If the tax rate is 32 percent and the discount rate is 15 percent, what is the NPV of this project?
