Your firm is considering a new three-year project with unit sales expected to be 10,000 per year. They expect the unit sale price to be $15 with variable costs accounting for $8.25 per unit. Fixed costs are estimated to be $15,500 per year. The project will require the purchase of a new piece of equipment which costs $150,000 with an additional $22,000 in shipping and installation costs. The equipment will be depreciated straight-line to zero over four years. Further, the project will require an additional investment in net working capital of $25,000. It is expected to have an estimated salvage value of $50,000 at the end of the project in three years.
