After discovering a new gold vein in the Colorado Mountains, CTT Mining Corporation must decide whether to go ahead and develop the deposit. The most cost-effective method of mining gold is sulphuric acid extraction, a process that results in environmental damage. Before proceeding with the extraction, CTT must spend $900,000 for new mining equipment and pay $165,000 for its installation. The gold mined will net the firm an estimated $350,000 each year over the 5-year life of the vein. CTT's cost of capital is 16%. For the purposes of this problem, assume that the cash inflows occur at the end of the year.
