Ivanhoe Company is considering buying a new farm that it plans to operate for 10 years. The farm will require an initial investment of $12.15 million. This investment will consist of $2.85 million for land and $9.30 million for trucks and other equipment. The land, all trucks, and all other equipment are expected to be sold at the end of 10 years for a price of $5.20 million, which is $2.30 million above book value. The farm is expected to produce revenue of $2.05 million each year, and annual cash flow from operations equals $1.95 million. The marginal tax rate is 25 percent, and the appropriate discount rate is 10 percent. Calculate the NPV of this investment.
