Ray's Racks, a company that develops and manufactures bike racks and locks, has developed a new, highly simplified bike lock. It can go into production for an initial investment in equipment of $5.7 million. The equipment will be depreciated straight line over 6 years to a value of zero, but in fact it can be sold after 6 years for $671,000. The firm estimates production costs of $1.80 per lock and believes that the locks can be sold for $8 each. The firm believes that working capital (primarily for spare parts) must be maintained at a level of 10% of next year's forecast sales. The project will come to an end in 6 years, when the lock becomes technologically obsolete. The firm's tax bracket is 35%. This project is considered to be an average risk project for Ray's Racks.
