Question: • The new business will require the company to purchase additional fixed assets that will cost $600,000 at t = 0. For tax and accounting purposes, these costs will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over three years.

• At the end of three years, the company will get out of the business and will sell the fixed assets at a salvage value of $100,000.

• The project will require a $50,000 increase in net operating working capital at t = 0.

• The company's marginal tax rate is 35 percent.

• The new business is expected to generate $2 million in sales each year (at t = 1, 2, and 3). The operating costs excluding depreciation are expected to be $1.4 million per year.

• The project's cost of capital is 12 percent.

What is the project's net present value (NPV)?
