Shimada Products Corporation of Japan is anxious to enter the electronic calculator market. Management believes that in order to be competitive in world markets, the price of the electronic calculator that the company is developing cannot exceed $15. Shimadas required rate of return is 12% on all investments. An investment of $12,400,000 would be required to purchase the equipment needed to produce the 372,000 calculators that management believes can be sold each year at the $15 price.
