With the growing popularity of casual surf print clothing, two recent MBA graduates

decided to broaden this casual surf concept to encompass a "surf lifestyle for the home."

With limited capital, they decided to focus on surf print table and floor lamps to accent

people's homes. They projected unit sales of these lamps to be $11,700$ in the first year,

with growth of $7$ percent each year for the next five years. Production of these lamps will

require $$79,000$ in net working capital to start. Total fixed costs are $$176,000$ per year,

variable production costs are $$18$ per unit, and the units are priced at $$64$ each. The

equipment needed to begin production will cost $$660,000.$ The equipment will be

depreciated using the straight$-$line method over a $5-$year life and is not expected to have

a salvage value. The tax rate is $22$ percent and the required rate of return is $16$ percent.

What is the NPV of this project? $($Do not round intermediate calculations and round

your answer to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.,32\mathrm{.}16.)$

Answer is complete but not entirely correct.
