3. Calculating Project NPV Esfandairi Enterprises is Page 195 considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.18 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three-year tax life, after which time it will be worthless.
