We are evaluating a project that costs $744,000, has a six-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 45,000 units per year. Price per unit is $60, variable cost per unit is $20, and fixed costs are $740,000 per year. The tax rate is 35 percent, and we require a 18 percent return on this project.
