McDermott Technologies is evaluating a new project that requires $800,000 in new equipment. McDermott estimates that the new project will generate $900,000 in annual sales at the end of each of the next four years and that total operating costs (variable and fixed costs excluding depreciation) will equal $400,000. Suppose that the firm depreciates the equipment using the straight-line method over four years and the firm's tax rate is 40%. If the project's required return is 10.2%, what is the present value of the annual operating cash flows received over the project's four-year life?
