Lebleu, Incorporated, is considering a project that will result in initial aftertax cash savings of $$1\mathrm{.}9$ million at the end of the first year, and these savings will grow at a rate of $1$ percent per year indefinitely. The company has a target debt$-$equity ratio of $\mathrm{.}75,$ a cost of equity of $13$ percent, and an aftertax cost of debt of $5\mathrm{.}8$ percent. The cost$-$saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual projects the firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of $+2$ percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects. What is the maximum initial cost the company would be willing to pay for the project? $($Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.,1,234,567\mathrm{.}89)$
