Carson Trucking is considering whether to expand its regional service center in Mohab, UT. The expansion requires the expenditure of $11,000,000 on new service equipment and would generate annual net cash inflows from reduced costs of operations equal to $4,000,000 per year for each of the next 7 years. In year
