Antonio Melton, the chief executive officer of Gibson Corporation, has assembled his top advisers to evaluate an investment opportunity. The advisers expect the company to pay $416,000 cash at the beginning of the investment and the cash inflow for each of the following four years to be the following:

Year 1			Year 2			Year 3			Year 4
$	91,000		$	98,000		$	121,000		$	191,000

Mr. Melton agrees with his advisers that the company should use the discount rate (required rate of return) of 14 percent to compute net present value to evaluate the viability of the proposed project. (PV of $1 and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
