Dog Up! Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $490,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the projects five-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $72,000. The sausage system will save the firm $170,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $31,000. If the tax rate is 30 percent and the discount rate is 8 percent, what is the NPV of this project?
