These scanners are expected to sell for an average price of $97 each, and the company analysts performing the analysis expect that the firm can sell 110,000 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 $20 per unit and fixed costs, not including depreciation, are forecast to be $1,100,000 per year. To manufacture this product, Blinkeria will need to buy a computerized production machine for $10.6 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 $301,000 in working capital to support the new business.
