a. New equipment would have to be acquired to produce the device. The equipment would cost $444,000 and have a six-year useful life. After six years, it would have a salvage value of about $6,000. b. Sales in units over the next six years are projected to be as follows: Year 1 2 3 4-6 Sales in Units 18,000 23,000 25,000 27,000 c.
