We are evaluating a project that costs $853,000, has a life of 11 years, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 106,000 units per year. Price per unit is $39, variable cost per unit is $24, and fixed costs are $856,412 per year. The tax rate is 22 percent, and we require a return of 15 percent on this project.
