Renegade Industries is considering the purchase of a new machine for the production of latex. Machine A costs $3.09 million and will last for six years. Variable costs are 32% of sales, and fixed costs are $1,954,670 per year. Machine B costs $4.96 million and will last for nine years. Variable costs for this machine are 22% of sales and fixed costs are $1,376,974 per year. The sales for each machine will be $5.6 million per year. The required return is 9 %, and the tax rate is 38%. Both machines will be depreciated to zero on a straight-line basis. Each project will require an increase in inventory of $409,169, an increase in accounts receivable of $657,917, and an increase in accounts payable of $368,540. Assume a salvage value of $747,768 for both machines.

Calculate the NPV for machine B. (Round answer to 2 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations)
