Sports Science International (SIS) is considering launching a new sports drink Devil-Ade With its improved formula, Devil-Ade is expected to penetrate the market quickly. However, Devil-Ade is likely to appeal to the consumers who are currently buying the SISs existing product, Gator-Ade. The sales volume of Gator-Ade is currently 20 million bottles per year and is expected to decline by 20% once Devil-Ade is introduced to the market (assume that the Gator-Ades sales volume will remain at the decreased level from then on). The unit sale price and the unit cost of Gator-Ade are $3.5 and $2.0, respectively. Estimate the opportunity cost per year (i.e., forgone cash flow from the existing product). Assume that SIS faces a marginal tax rate of 25% for SIS.
