Partial analysis of an investment in automated equipment with a useful life of 5 years has thus far yielded a net present value of -$329,400. This analysis did not include any estimates of the intangible benefits of automating this process nor did it include any estimate of the salvage value of the equipment. (Ignore income taxes.)
