AAA Corp. currently has one product, high-priced lawn mowers. AAA Corp. has decided to sell a new line of medium-priced lawn mowers. The building and machinery for producing new line is estimated to cost $11,000,000 and it will be depreciated down to zero over 20 years using straight-line depreciation. Also, an investment today on working capital in the amount of $4,000,000 is needed. The working capital will be recovered at the end of the project. Sales for the new line of lawn mowers are estimated at $18 million a year. Annual variable costs are 60% of sales. The project is expected to last 5 years. In addition to the production variable costs, the fixed costs each year will be $2,000,000. The company has spent $1,500,000 in a marketing study that determined the company will lose $9 million in sales a year of its existing high-priced lawn mowers. The production variable cost of these sales is $7 million a year. It is expected that at the end of the project, the building and machinery can be sold for $2,000,000.
