MetaMaple Leaf Industries is considering a new $5-$year project to produce a new product line. The equipment necessary will cost $$4\mathrm{.}25$ million and be depreciated using straight$-$line depreciation to a book value of zero. At the end of the project, the equipment can be sold for $12\mathrm{.}00$ percent of its initial cost. The company believes that it can sell $70,500$ units per year at a price of $$70\mathrm{.}50$ and variable costs of $$43\mathrm{.}75$ per tent. The fixed costs will be $$400,000$ per year. The project will require an initial investment in net working capital of $$525,000$ that will be recovered at the end of the project. The required rate of return is $11\mathrm{.}750$ percent and the tax rate is $28\%$ percent. What is the NPV$?$ Answer with three decimal places.
