Problem $10-14$ Project Evaluation $[$LO$1]$

Dog Up$!$ Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $$470,000.$ This cost will be depreciated straight$-$line to zero over the project's five$-$year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $$63,000.$ The sausage system will save the firm $$144,000$ per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $$27,500.$ If the tax rate is $23$ percent and the discount rate is $11$ percent, what is the NPV of this project? $($Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.,32\mathrm{.}16.)$
