Albert I. Stein Ltd. is considering the investment of $75,000 in a new machine that will allow it to do research on developing a new microchip for use in video games. The machine will be assigned to CCA Class 8. The firm is considered a Canadian-controlled private corporation eligible for the small business tax deduction. (The tax rate is, therefore, 15 percent.) A 20 percent ITC is available.

If the machine is purchased, Stein expects to be able to develop a new product for the video game market that would be ready for sale about two years after the machine is purchased. This new product is anticipated to provide new revenues of $121,000 per year for the seven years after introduction, and to have associated expenses of $90,000 per year for the first five of those years and $105,000 for the last two. Other development costs associated with the new product in the initial two years are estimated at $17,500 per year. The firms controller estimates its cost of capital at 13 percent and that $0.10 in additional working capital is required for every $1.00 in extra sales.
