The CFO of Vandelay Industries is considering the launch of a new child's bike seat that will revolutionize the industry. It has been estimated that the project will last 5 years. The machine that will manufacture the bike seat costs $2 million, and will be depreciated using the straight line method to zero book value over 10 years. Projected sales are $700,000 in each year. Annual costs are estimated to be $140,000. The CFO believes that the manufacturing machine can be sold at the end of the project for $600,000. It is estimated that working capital requirements will be constant at $90,000 in each year starting today. Working capital will be recovered at the end of the project. If the project is taken, it will use an existing office space for which the company paid $550,000 three years ago, and that can be rented today for $56,000 a year (after tax), to be paid at the end of each year. The tax rate is 20%.
