Cochrane, Inc., is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2,160,000. 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 $2,170,000 in annual sales, with costs of $1,160,000. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $152,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $177,000 at the end of the project. Assume that the tax rate is 40 percent and the required return on the project is 12 percent.
Requirement 1: What are the net cash flows of the project for the following years? (Do not round intermediate calculations. A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars (e.g., 1,234,567).)
Year Cash Flow 0 $ 1 2 3
Requirement 2: What is the NPV of the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars (e.g., 1,234,567). Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)
