Rader Railway is determining whether to purchase a new rail setter, which has a base price of $$405,000$ and would cost another $$43,000$ to install. The setter will be depreciated according to the MACRS $3-$year class of assets, and it would be sold after three years for $$215,000.$ Using the setter requires a $$27,000$ increase in net working capital. Although it would have no effect on revenues, the setter should save the firm $$178,000$ per year in before$-$tax operating costs $($excluding depreciation$).$ Rader's marginal tax rate is $40$ percent, and its required rate of return is $15$ percent. Should the setter be purchased? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Use a minus sign to enter a negative value, if Any.

The setter should be purchased because the net present value, that is $$\_\_\_\_\_$ is greater than zero.
