Matheson Electronics has just developed a new electronic device that it believes will have broad market appeal. The company has performed marketing and cost studies that revealed the following information: a. New equipment would have to be acquired to produce the device. The equipment would cost $486,000 and have a six-year useful life. After six years, it would have a salvage value of about $24,000. b. Sales in units over the next six years are projected to be as follows: Year Sales in Units 18,000 23,000 25,000 27,000 4-6 c. Production and sales of the device would require working capital of $63,000 to finance accounts receivable, inventories, and day- to-day cash needs. This working capital would be released at the end of the project's life. d. The devices would sell for $35 each; variable costs for production, administration, and sales would be $20 per unit. ance, and straight-line depreciation on the equipment would total $159,000 per year. (Depreciation is based on cost less salvage value.) f. To gain rapid entry into the market, the company would have to advertise heavily. The advertising costs would be: Year 1-2 Amount of Yearly Advertising $228,000 $ 72,000 $ 62,000 4-6 g. The company's required rate of return is 18%.

(Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.) Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4-6 Incremental contribution margin Incrememental fixed expenses Net cash inflow (outflow) Using the data computed in (1) above and other data provided in the problem, determine the net present value of the proposed investment. (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) Net present value
