A company estimates 16,500 units of a new product could be sold annually over the next 8 years at a price of $23,500 each. Variable cost per unit is $19,700 and fixed costs total $31 million per year. Start-up costs include $80 million to build production facilities, $4.50 million in land, and $15 million in net working capital. The $80 million facility is made up of a building valued at $12 million and $68 million of equipment. The building and equipment qualify for CCA rates of 4% and 20%, respectively. At the end of the project's life, the facilities (including the land) will be sold for an estimated $19.80 million. Assume the building's portion of this value will be $6.50 million and the value of the land remains unchanged. Start-up would also require initial expenses of $3.10 million, which are tax deductible. The company pays taxes at a 33% rate and uses a 16% discount rate on projects such as this one.
