We are considering the introduction of a new product. Currently we are in the 34 percent marginal tax bracket with a 15 percent required rate of return or cosit of capital. This project is expected to last 5 years and then, because this is some- what of a fad product, be terminated. The following information describes the new project: Cost of new plant and equipment Shipping and installation costs $7,900,000 100,000 UNIT SALES YEAR UNITS SOLD 70,000 120,000 40,000 80,000 60,000 Sales price per unit Variable cost per unit Annual fixed costs Working-capital requirements $300/unit in years 1 through 4, $260/unit in year 5 $180/unit $200,000 per year in years 1-5 There will be an initial working-capital requirement of $100,000 just to get production started. For each year, the total investment in net working capital will be equal to 10 percent of the dollar value of sales for that year. Thus, the investment in working capi tal will increase during years 1 through 3, then decrease in year 4. Finally, all working capital is liquidated at the termination of the project at the end of year 5. Depreciation method Use the simplified straight-line method over 5 years.
