Problem 8-3 Calculating Project NPV

Down Under Boomerang, Inc., is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.97 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 $2,170,000 in annual sales, with costs of $865,000. The tax rate is 24 percent and the required return is 9 percent. What is the projects NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
