I Have been working on this accounting question for hours and have tried everything.
I know how to usually do this, but there are no example questions that have you factor in tax, and especially what you do with the depreciation and future and present values.

heres the data:

Erie Corp. is considering a project that would require an initial investment of 0,560 and would have a useful life of 6 years. The annual cash receipts would be 5,310 and the annual cash expenses would be ,640. The salvage value of the assets used in the project would be ,780. The company’s tax rate is 30%. For tax purposes, the entire initial investment without any reduction for salvage value will be depreciated over 5 years. The company uses a discount rate of 10% and the factors relating to that rate are presented here:

Number of yearsFactor
Present value of 6 years0.564
Present value of an annuity of years3.791
Present value of an annuity of years4.355

Here is the actual Question:
What is the net present value of this project? (NOTE: DO CONSIDER THE EFFECTS OF TAX)

—————–
What I tried to do but is wrong is:

Present Value of Inflows – Present Value of Outflows so

[(125310 - 55640) = 69670 per year * 4.355 (factor of 6 years) * .7 (30% tax rate) ] = 212388.995

+

[32780 (in 6 years so multiply by .564) * .7 (30% tax rate)] = 12941.544

-

Initial investment NPV 200560

=
NPV = 24770.53 but this is wrong. I think I am handling the tax rate and the depreciation wrong.

Thank you so much to whoever can help!!!
That did not work. years 1-5 made sense, but Why isnt the salvage value in the 6th year used? wouldnt that you find the present value of the salvage value?
