Parker & Stone, Incorporated, is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South

Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land $7$ years ago for $$5$ million

in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has

since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold

today, the company would net $$9\mathrm{.}6$ million. The company wants to build its new

manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $$12\mathrm{.}2$ million to build, and the site

requires $$1,344,000$ worth of grading before it is suitable for construction.

What is the proper cash flow amount to use as the initial investment in fixed assets when

evaluating this project?
