Platoon Company is performing a post-audit of a project that was estimated to cost $420,000, have a useful life of 6 years with a zero salvage value, and result in net cash inflows of $100,000 per year. After the investment was in operation for a year, revised figures indicate that it actually cost $470,000, will have a 9-year useful life, and will produce net cash inflows of $77,000. The present value of an annuity of 1 for 6 years at 10% is 4.355 and for 9 years is 5.759.

Calculate the net present value based on the original estimates. Net present value =

Determine whether the project should have been accepted.
