Assignment:
Quillen Company is performing a post-audit of a project completed one year ago. The initial estimates were that the project would cost $227,469, would have a useful life of 9 years, zero salvage value, and would result in net annual cash flows of $43,700 per year. Now that the investment has been in operation for 1 year, revised figures indicate that it actually cost $240,559, will have a useful life of 11 years, and will produce net annual cash flows of $37,905 per year.
