21. Project Evaluation (LO1, 2) Fox Hollow Franks is looking at a new system with an installed cost of $540,000. This equipment is depreciated at a rate of 20% per year (Class 8) over the project's five-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be sold for $80,000. The sausage system will save the firm $170,000 per year in pre-tax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $29,000. If the tax rate is 34% and the discount rate is 10%, what is the NPV of this project
