(Net present value calculation) Carson Trucking is considering whether to expand its regional service center in Mohab, UT. The expansion requires the expenditure of $11,000,000 on new service equipment and would generate annual net cash inflows from reduced costs of operations equal to $4,000,000per year for each of the next 7 years. In year 7 the firm will also get back a cash flow equal to the salvage value of the equipment, which is valued at $0.8 million. Thus, in year 7 the investment cash inflow totals $4,800,000.
