H. Cochran, Inc., is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2,580,000. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three-year tax life, after which time it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $2,310,000 in annual sales, with costs of $1,330,000. Assume the tax rate is 30 percent and the required return on the project is 6 percent.
What is the project’s NPV? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
