Dickinson Brothers, Inc., is considering investing in a machine to produce computer keyboards. The price of the machine will be $992,000, and its economic life is five years. The machine will be fully depreciated by the straight-line method. The machine will produce 37,000 keyboards each year. The price of each keyboard will be $35 in the first year and will increase by 5 percent per year. The production cost per keyboard will be $15 in the first year and will increase by 6 percent per year. The project will have an annual fixed cost of $212,000 and require an immediate investment of $42,000 in net working capital. The corporate tax rate for the company is 38 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 10 percent.

What is the NPV of the investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
