James Denning wants to buy a caravan rental business in the inner Melbourne suburb of Richmond. James spends $1,790,000 on the purchase of the business including caravans and further advertising and signage costs amount to $234,000. He thinks he can net $658,000 each year after all costs are paid. He will work in the business and not take a salary. After 7 years of this venture, he aims to sell the business and the caravans. To be conservative, he allows only $393,000 as the amount recouped.What is the PP for the caravan venture?

Note: Please use the discount factors provided in the question to calculate NPV.
