Question: Twitz Corp. is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in Kennesaw, GA . Twitz had bought a piece of land 3 years ago

Twitz Corp. is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in Kennesaw, GA. Twitz had bought a piece of land 3 years ago for $2 million thinking to use it as for expansion of its warehouse, but Twitz decided to lease a building nearby for those purposes. Today, the value of the land net of taxes is estimated at $2.6 million. Twitz now wants to build a new manufacturing plant for a new project called AAA-T on this land; the plant will cost $9 million to build, and the site requires $1.2 million worth of improvements before it is suitable for construction. Twitz also plans to use a parking garage that has been empty for several years (company owns the building but it is not using it). This parking garage can be sold today for $8 million, net of taxes. Inn addition, launching the project will require an investment in working capital today in the amount of $1.7 million. In addition, new equipment in the amount of $3.0 million is needed for the project. The tax rate is 20%.
What is the initial investment outlay (IO) for the NPV evaluation of this project? Enter your answer in millions rounding to two decimals and use a negative when IO is a cash outflow. For example, if you obtained a cash outflow of $3,850,000 then enter -3.85; for a cash flow of $4,000,000 then enter -4.00
