Ocean World is considering purchasing a water park in Charleston, South Carolina, for $$2,100,000.$ The new facility will generate annual net cash inflows of $$495,000$ for ten years. Engineers estimate that the facility will remain useful for ten years and have no residual value. The company uses straight$-$line depreciation. Its owners want payback in less than five years and an ARR of $10\%$ or more. Management uses a $12\%$ hurdle rate on investments of this nature.
