Your boss is considering a 4-year investment project. If the project is accepted, it would require an immediate spending of $517 to buy all necessary production equipment. This equipment would be sold at the end of the project and bring your company estimated $194 in sale proceeds after taxes (or after-tax salvage value). Your boss's consulting team estimated that the annual after-tax profits (or operating cash flows) would equal $162. The team also recommends immediately setting aside $51 in cash to cover any unforeseen expenses. The required annual rate of return is 9.6%.

Only round your answer to TWO decimal places. For example, 1,000,23 or -1,000.23)
