Sales in units over the next six years are projected to be as follows: Year 1 2 3 4-6 Sales in Units 13,000 18,000 20,000 22,000 c. Production and sales of the device would require working capital of $59,000 to finance accounts receivable, inventories, and day- to-day cash needs. This working capital would be released at the end of the project's life. d. The devices would sell for $50 each; variable costs for production, administration, and sales would be $35 per unit. e. Fixed costs for salaries, maintenance, property taxes, insurance, and straight-line depreciation on the equipment would total $169,000 per year. (Depreciation is based on cost less salvage value.) f.
