Splash Planet

is considering purchasing a water park in Atlanta, Georgia, for

$1,920,000.

The new facility will generate annual net cash inflows of $481,000 for eight years. Engineers estimate that the facility will remain useful for eight years and have no residual value. The company uses straight-line depreciation, and its stockholders demand an annual return of 12% on investments of this nature.
