Tanaka Machine Shop is considering a four$-$year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $$419,000$ is estimated to result in $$156,000$ in annual pretax cost savings. The press falls in the MACRS five$-$year class $($MACRS schedule$)$ and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $$57,000.$ The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $$16,200,$ along with an additional $$3,200$ in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The shop$$s tax rate is $22$ percent and its discount rate is $9$ percent. Calculate the project's NPV$.$
