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 $270,000 now and the useful life of the project is 15 years. Additional working capital needed immediately for this project would be $75,000; the working capital would be released for use elsewhere at the end of the 15-year period. The equipment and other materials used in the project would have a salvage value of $55,000 in 15 years. Finney's discount rate is 13%. (Ignore income taxes.)
