Rugged Outdoor Supplies is looking to expand its business. The new business is expected to generate $2.6 million per year in sales over the next 5 years. Annual costs would increase by $2.1 million. Both sales revenues and costs are expected to increase by 2% per year due to inflation. An investment in working capital of $65,000 would have to be made initially. The machinery (CCA rate of 30%) would cost $635,000, with additional costs of $25,000 to be incurred for setup and training. They also estimate that it would be possible to sell the equipment for 15% of its initial value at the end of 5 years. The company would set up operations in a building it does not use but currently rents out for $80,000 flat per year. If the firm's cost of capital is 8% and its tax rate is 29%, should it proceed with this new business?

Please show calculation. Thank you.
