A company invests $62033$ into a new equipment that is ready for production in exactly $18$ months from the time of investment. Once in production, the equipment can generate a net income payable continuously at the rate of $8761$ per half$-$year for the first $5$ years and of $11022$ per year for the remaining $6$ years until it is sold for $7316.$

Assuming a force of interest of $2\mathrm{.}9\%$ per half$-$year is applicable for the entire period, calculate the net present value of the project in $$s to $2$ decimal places.
