Company has spent $250,000 on research to develop a new computer game. The company plans to spend $1,400,000 on a machine to produce the new game. The shipping and installation costs for the new machine total $200,000, and these costs will be capitalized and depreciated along with the cost of the machine. The machine will be used for 3 years, has an estimated resale value of $200,000 at the end of 3 years, and will depreciate on a straight-line basis over 4 years. Revenue for the new game is expected to be $1,200,000 per year, with costs of $500,000 per year. The company has a tax rate of 35 percent, a cost of capital (discount rate) of 6 percent, and expects net working capital (NWC) to increase by $150,000 at the start of the project. This investment in NWC will be fully recovered at the end of the project. .
