Question: Cardinal Company is considering a five-year project that would require a $2,890,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years and no salvage

Cardinal Company is considering a five-year project that would require a $2,890,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years and no salvage value. The companys discount rate is 12%. The project would provide net operating income in each of five years as follows:

Sales $ 2,739,000
Variable expenses 1,100,000
Contribution margin 1,639,000
Fixed expenses:
Advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs $ 641,000
Depreciation 578,000
Total fixed expenses 1,219,000
Net operating income $ 420,000

13. Assume a postaudit showed that all estimates (including total sales) were exactly correct except for the variable expense ratio, which actually turned out to be 50%. What was the projects actual net present value? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
