Sports 'R Us is trying to decide whether its idea for a new 3-year project is worth it or not. It would be manufacturing and selling glass bottom surf boards to local surf board enthusiasts who would appreciate and be willing to pay extra for this special effect!

* To start this project, Sports 'R Us would need to invest $2.4 million into specialized production equipment. It believes it would be able to sell it at the end of the project for $184,800 when it is no longer needed. This equipment will be losing its economic value following the 3-year MACRS class' depreciation schedule. Refer to this table for all necessary calculations (MACRS Table).

* Sports 'R Us would also need to have $264,000 in cash throughout the project's life to meet any equipment maintenance and repair expenses that may unexpectedly arise.

* With regards to annual profits, they will be based on the company's estimates of $2,112,000 in annual revenues from the surf board sales, and $844,800 in annual costs of manufacturing the boards.

The company pays 32 percent tax rate on its annual taxable income.

The discount rate of 8 percent is appropriate for this surf board project. (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
