A company XYZ is considering manufacturing a product in space. The project lifetime is 10 years and has the following consecutive phases: Phase 1 (years 1 to 3): The engineering design and development requires 3 years. No production is done during this period Phase 2 (years 4 to 10): to launch the spacecraft into orbit, operate the equipment from the ground by remote control, and recover the spacecraft with the product. This phase is completed in one year, and will be repeated for the next 6 years for a total of 7 launches.
All costs are paid at the end of each year. The minimum attractive rate of return is i=25%
Phase 2 of the project has the following costs, all paid at the end of each year:
Launch $6000000
Insurance $500000
Labor $1550000
Material $860000
What is the annual net cash flow in phase 2 if the annual income as a result of sales in phase 2 is $16000000
