A company is intending to invest in a capital budgeting project to manufacture a medical testing device and has projected the following sales:

Year 1. $50,000

Year 2. $66,400

Year 3. $81,200

Year 4. $68,500

Year 5. $54,500

The installed cost of the new assets will be $18,500,000 which will be depreciated using the 7-year MACRS schedule. The assets will have a salvage value of $3,700,000. Initial NWC requirements are $1,500,000 and additional working capital needs are estimated to be 15% of the projected sales increases for the following year. Total fixed costs are $2,000,000 per year. The medical device has a selling price of $300 per unit and variable production costs are $175. The firm has a marginal tax rate of 35% and a required rate of return of 18%. Analyze this project and give your recommendation as to whether they should invest in it or abandon it.
