This will be bought at the beginning of 2018 and depreciated straight line over four years 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. In addition to the new machine, the table below shows the forecast cost and revenue cashflows note 1 for Gemini: 2019 M 2020 M 2021 M 2017 M 12 2 Research and development note2 Marketing Fixed costs note 3 2018 M 4 4 10 8 34 6 2 4 Note 3 8 Note 3 26 Note 3 Note 3 3 8 Note 3 24 Note 3 Note 3 Price per unit Variable production costs note3 Variable marketing costs note3 28 Note 3 Note 3 Estimated market demand 1,000,000 3,000,000 4,000,000 2,000,000 Notes: 1. The cashflows shown in this table can also be regarded as accrual based costs and revenues. 2. Research and development cost are written off in the year incurred. 3. It is expected that variable production, variable marketing, and product fixed costs will increase by 3% each year. Price, marketing cost and market demand are the amounts estimated by the marketing department (c) Calculate the Net Present Value of the Gemini Lifecycle.

The machinery was bought at the beginning of 2018 which would be regarded as time 0 but in this case there are cashflows in 2017 and 2018 so the above treatment recognises the cashflows correctly. However, other interpretations were also accepted
