ASAP:You are thinking of making an investment in a new plant. The plant will generate revenues of $$1,000,000$ per year for as long as you maintain it$.$ You expect that the maintenance cost will start at $$50,000$ per year and will increase $5\%$ per year thereafter. Assume that all revenue and maintenance costs occur at the end of the year. You intend to run the plant as long as it continues to make a positive cash flow $($as long as the cash generated by the plant exceeds the maintenance costs$).$ The plant can be built and become operational immediately. If the plant costs $$10,000,000$ to build, and the interest rate is $6\%$ per year, should you invest in the plant?

The net present value $($NPV$)$ is $ $($Round to the nearest dollar.$)$

Since the NPV is $$ negative $$ build the plant. $($Select from the drop$-$down menus.$)$
