In evaluating a project that costs $957,000, has a life of 13 years, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 153,000 units per year. Price per unit is $44, variable cost per unit is $24, and fixed costs are $958,914 per year. The tax rate is 24 percent, and we require a return of 12 percent on this project.
