Initial investment =    2700000  
Time (N) =   3  
Required return (r) = 15% or   0.15  
      
      
      
Calculation of annual cash flows      
Annual sales 2400000  
less: cost -960000  
less : Depreciation -900000  
(2700000/3)      


Profit before tax    540000  
less : tax@35% -189000  


Profit after tax 351000  
Add: Depreciation 900000  


Annual cash flows 1251000  
      
Present value of Cash inflows (PVIFA) =1-(1+r)-N/r or

Annual amount * (1-(1/(1+r)^n) / r      
=1251000 * (1-(1/(1+0.15)^3))/0.15      
=2856314.622      
      
NPV = Present value of cash inflow-initial investment      
2856314.622 -2700000   

=156314.6215      
      
So, NPV of investment is $156,314.62. So project is acceptable.
