Question

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) The Finney Company is reviewing the possibility of remodeling one of its showrooms and buying some new equipment to improve sales operations. The remodeling would cost $164,000 now and the useful life of the project is 11 years. Additional working capital needed immediately for this project would be $41,000; the working capital would be released for use elsewhere at the end of the 11-year period. The equipment and other materials used in the project would have a salvage value of $15,500 in 11 years. Finney's discount rate is 18%.

What would the annual net cash inflows from this project have to be in order to justify investing in remodeling? (Round your 'PV factors' to three decimal places. Round your other intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar.) (Use exhibit11b-1, exhihit11b-2)
