$($Comprehensive risk$$ analysis$)$ Blinkeria is considering introducing a new line of hand scanners that can be used to copy material and then download it into a personal computer. These scanners are expected to sell for an average price of $$$$98$each$,$ and the company analysts performing the analysis expect that the firm can sell $102,000$ units per year at this price for a period of five$$ years, after which time they expect demand for the product to end as a result of new technology. In$$ addition, variable costs are expected to be $$$$22$ per unit and fixed$$ costs, not including$$ depreciation, are forecast to be $$$$1,000,000$ per year. To manufacture this$$ product, Blinkeria will need to buy a computerized production machine for $$$$10\mathrm{.}3$ million that has no residual or salvage$$ value, and will have an expected life of five years. In$$ addition, the firm expects it will have to invest an additional $$$$306,000$ in working capital to support the new business. Other pertinent information concerning the business venture is provided$$ here:$$Initial cost of the machine $$10,300,000$
