We are evaluating a project that costs $$832,000,$ has a life of fourteen years, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight$-$line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at $142,000$ units per year. Price per unit is $$36,$ variable cost per unit is $$21,$ and fixed costs are $$837,824$ per year. The tax rate is $21$ percent, and we require a return of $17$ percent on this project. The projections given for price, quantity, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within $\frac{+}{-}13$ percent.
