The new project will generate $2,600,000 in new annual sales with corresponding new variable expenses of $600,000 annually.

The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $300,000. At the end of the 3 year period, the company will sell this fixed asset for $500,000 before tax.

The company has a tax rate of 35% and its required rate of return for this project is 12%
