The Baldwin Company investigated the marketing potential of brightly colored bowling balls. Some

people at Baldwin complained about the cost of the test marketing, which was $250,000.

In any case, the Baldwin company is now considering investing in a machine to produce bowling

balls. The bowling balls would be manufactured in a building owned by the firm and located near Los

Angeles. This building, which is vacant, and the land can be sold for $150,000 after taxes.

Working with his staff, Meadows is preparing an analysis of the proposed new product. He

summarized his assumptions as follows: the cost of the bowling ball machine is $100,000 and it is

expected to last five years (use the straight line depreciation). At the end of five years, the machine

will be sold at a price estimated to be $30,000. Production by year during the fiveyear life of the

machine is expected to be as follows: 5,000 units, 8,000 units, 12,000 units, 10,000 units, 6,000 units.

The price of bowling balls will be $20. Production cost will be $10 dollars per

unit. The appropriate

incremental corporate tax rate is 34%.

Management and determines that an initial investment (at year 0) in net working capital of

$10,000 is required. Subsequently, net working capital at the beginning of each year will be equal to

10% of sales for that year. In the final year of the project, net working capital would decline to

zero as

the project is wound down. In other words, the investment in working capital is to be completely

recovered by the end of the projects life
