H. Cochran, Inc., is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.15 million. 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 $2.23 million in annual sales, with costs of $1.25 million. Assume
the tax rate is 23 percent and the required return on the project is 14 percent. What is
the project's NPV? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not
round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e. g.,
32.16.)
