Note 2: An initial (t=0) $20k investment into customer safety goggles (current assets) is required. These current assets will be used up and replaced at the end of each year. These current assets (CA) are expensed in the variable cost per unit at the end of each year, but the investment in these CA happens at the start of each year.

Note 5: The ride equipment can be sold to a competitor at time t=10 for $50,000

Note 6: The project will be financed entirely by equity.
