The included question relate to this one prompt: Starbucks is considering a project where they will sell to the public the coffee makers that they use in their stores. This way customers can brew their Starbuck$$s coffees at home and not have to worry about going inside the restaurant and being exposed to other people or having to spend money on gas driving to the store. The chief marketing officer $($CMO$)$ estimates that they will sell $5,000$ units a year for $5$ years at a price of $$135$ each. The chief operations officer $($COO$)$ estimates that the variable costs to build these will be $76\mathrm{.}4\%$ of revenue. The COO says the company will need to buy an assembly line to make these. The assembly line costs $$575,000$ and has a shipping cost of $$15,000.$ The COO adds that they will need to purchase an additional $$40,000$ in inventory and accounts payable will increase by $$7,000.$ Once the project ends, they will no longer need additional inventory and will pay the accounts payable balance. The chief financial officer $($CFO$)$ The CFO says to use the MACRS $3$ year class for depreciation. $($These are the same rates as used in the slides.$)$ He estimates that the assembly line will have a salvage value of $$12,000.$ He notes that Starbuck$$s tax rate is $22\mathrm{.}5\%$ and that the normal WACC is $9\mathrm{.}1\%.$ The CMO notes that they have done an extensive marketing survey and many Starbucks customers are scared to go to a store in today$$s environment and would be happy to purchase their own equipment. This research is already paid for and cost $$75,000.$
