Year 0    -$2.32 million

Year 1     $857,150

Year 2    $857,150

Year 3    $857,150

b. The project's NPV is -$261,126

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Initial cost of investment in fixed asset = $2.32 million

Estimated annual sales = $1,735,000

Estimated annual costs =     650,000

Before-tax income           $1,085,000

Company tax (21%)               227,850

Net income/cash flow        $857,150

a. The project's net cash flow:

Year 0    -$2.32 million

Year 1     $857,150

Year 2    $857,150

Year 3    $857,150

b. The project's NPV, if the required return is 12%:

Period    Cash Flows          

Annuity Factor for 3 years at 12% = 2.402

Year 0    -$2.32 million    -$2.32 million

Year 1     $857,150

Year 2    $857,150

Year 3    $857,150           $2,058,874 ($857,150 * 2.402)

NPV =                               -$261,126
