The Woodruff Corporation purchased a piece of equipment three years ago for $212,000. It has an asset depreciation range (ADR) midpoint of eight years. The old equipment can be sold for $93,500. A new piece of equipment can be purchased for $324,000. It also has an ADR of eight years. Assume the old and new equipment would provide the following operating gains (or losses) over the next six years:

Year New Equipment Old Equipment
1............... $80,500 $26,500
2............... 78,000 14,250
3............... 71,500 8,000
4............... 59,250 6,250
5............... 49,500 4,750
6............... 43,750 -6,750

The firm has a 25 percent tax rate and a 9 percent cost of capital.

What is the NPV of this replacement decision? Round your solution to two decimal places.

I already know the present value of new equipment is $238,611 and the present value of incremental benefits is $237,777.48

But I'm getting the NPV wrong...
