Quad Enterprises is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.31 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight- line to zero over its three-year tax life. The project is estimated to generate $1,725,000 in annual sales, with costs of $635,000. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $280,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $225,000 at the end of the project.
