We are evaluating a project that costs $864,000, has an eight-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 71,000 units per year. Price per unit is $49, variable cost per unit is $33, and fixed costs are $765,000 per year. The tax rate is 35%, and we require a 10% return on this project.
