Jack and Jills Place is a nonprofit nursery school run by the parents of the enrolled children. Since the school is out of town, it has a well rather than a city water supply. Lately, the well has become unreliable, and the school has had to bring in bottled drinking water. The schools governing board is considering drilling a new well (at the top of the hill, naturally). The board estimates that a new well would cost $3,125 and save the school $620 annually for 10 years. The schools hurdle rate is 8 percent.

Use Appendix A for your reference. (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

Required:

Compute the new wells net present value. Should the governing board approve the new well? (Round your final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
