"Party Sea" is considering buying sailing catamarans for $25,000,000. The catamarans will be losing value over their life, resulting in a 20% annual drop in the after-tax sale proceeds. (In other words, if the catamarans are sold in one year, the company will get 20% less after taxes compared to their original purchase price. If they are sold in two years, the company will get 20% less after taxes compared to what it would get if it sold them in one year. And so on.) Each year, the company will be making money by renting the catamarans out. The estimated operating cash flow in the first year is $7,000,000, and this will be increasing by 5% each year. Other companies in the same line of business typically generate a 9% return. Answer the following questions. All dollar amounts should be rounded to whole dollar. Do not use the "S" signs.
