The local supermarket is considering investing in$$ self$-$checkout kiosks for its customers. The$$ self$-$checkout kiosks will cost $ $49$ comma $500$ and have no residual value. Management expects the equipment to result in net cash savings over three years as customers grow accustomed to using the new$$ technology: $ $10$ comma $000$ the first$$ year; $ $26$ comma $000$ the second$$ year; $ $29$ comma $000$ the third year. Assuming a $14\%$ discount$$ rate, what is the NPV of the kiosk$$ investment? Is this a favorable$$ investment? Why or why$$ not?
