Esfandiari Enterprises is considering a new three$-$year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $$2\mathrm{.}61$ million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight$-$line to zero over its three$-$year tax life, after which time it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $$2,050,000$ in annual sales, with costs of $$745,000.$ The tax rate is $23$ percent and the required return is $15$ percent. What is the project$$s NPV$?$

Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.,32\mathrm{.}16.$
