The CFO of Dario's Clocks needs help in its capital budgeting process. Dario's is considering a new production line equipment project. See the data below.

The equipment that would be used has a 3-year tax life, would be depreciated by the straight-line method over its 3-year life, and would have a zero salvage value.
