Cardinal Company is considering a project that would require a $2,810,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years. At the end of five years, the project would terminate and the equipment would be sold for its salvage value of $500,000. The companys discount rate is 16%. The project would provide net operating income each year as follows:

Sales			$	2,847,000
Variable expenses				1,121,000
Contribution margin				1,726,000
Fixed expenses:
Advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs	$	782,000
Depreciation		462,000
Total fixed expenses				1,244,000
Net operating income			$	482,000

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 45%. What was the projects actual net present value? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Use the appropriate table to determine the discount factor(s), Round other intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar.)
