ABC Company currently manufactures computer monitors at its factory in the United States. Due to rising labor costs and labor shortages, it is considering contracting with a nearby country, Mexico, to manufacture computer monitors as a supplier of its own. It will consider two factors among several in making its decision. The first factor to consider is the exchange rate. The current exchange rate is 25 pesos to the dollar ($1 = 25 pesos). There is a 30% chance that it will increase by 20% in 2027 ($1 = 30 pesos) and a 70% chance that it will decrease by 4% ($1 = 24 pesos). The second factor to consider is the cost of labor. Mexico: Currently 1000 pesos per hour, a 60% chance of a 40% increase (1400 pesos) in 2027, and a 40% chance of a 10% decrease (900 pesos). Assuming 3 workers in both the U.S. and Mexico work 4 hours a day, 10 days a year, and have a discount rate of 20%. If ABC Company contracts with a supplier in Mexico, what is the NPV of the total costs ($) for Mexico, including 2026 and 2027?(If necessary, calculate to four decimal places)
