The new manufacturing equipment will cost $257,000 and is expected to have a 10-year life and $17,000 residual value. Selling expenses related to the new product are expected to be 5% of sales revenue. The cost to manufacture the product includes the following on a per-unit basis:

Direct labor	$12.00
Direct materials	30.00
Fixed factory overheaddepreciation	15.00
Variable factory overhead	4.50
