Blossom Company is performing a post$-$audit of a project completed one year ago. The initial estimates were that the project would cost $$244,000,$ would have a useful life of $9$ years and zero salvage value, and would result in net annual cash flows of $$46,600$ per year. Now that the investment has been in operation for $1$ year, revised figures indicate that it actually cost $$256,000,$ will have a total useful life of $11$ years $($including the year just completed$),$ and will produce net annual cash flows of $$40,300$ per year.

Evaluate the success of the project. Assume a discount rate of $11\%.($If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg $-45$ or parentheses eg $(45).$ Round present value answers to $0$ decimal places, e$.$g$.125.$ For calculation purposes, use $5$ decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided.$)$
