Applied Nanotech is thinking about introducing a new surface cleaning machine. The

marketing department has come up with the estimate that the company can sell $15$ units

per year at $$311,000$ net cash flow per unit for the next four years. The engineering

department has come up with the estimate that developing the machine will take a $$14\mathrm{.}8$

million initial investment. The finance department has estimated that a discount rate of $10$

percent should be used.

What is the base$-$case NPV$?($A negative answer should be indicated by a minus

a$.$ sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not

millions of dollars, rounded to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.,1,234,567\mathrm{.}89.)$

If unsuccessful, after the first year the project can be dismantled and will have an

aftertax salvage value of $$11\mathrm{.}6$ million. Also, after the first year, expected cash flows

b$.$ will be revised up to $20$ units per year or to $0$ units, with equal probability. What is the

revised NPV$?($Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in

dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.,1,234,567\mathrm{.}89.)$

Answer is complete but not entirely correct.
