We are going to design and build a brand$-$new manufacturing facility to produce a new kind of high$-$pressure valve assembly

The design of the plant will take $1$ year and is expected to cost $15M$

Manufacturing of the plant will take $1$ year and will cost $85M$ to build and commission

You expect the plant will produce these valves for the next $10$ years, prepare yearly incremental before$-$tax and after$-$tax cash flows

Prepare yearly incremental before$-$tax and after$-$tax cash flows

You plan for the following:

You expect to be able to sell a valve assembly for $$5500$ each

You expect to produce $12,000$ per year at maximum output

In Year $1,$ production is expected to be $70\%$ of max output, Year $2=80\%,$ Year $3=90\%,$ and Year $4$ to $10=100\%$

Given the difficulty in making these valves, you expect $4\%$ of them will not pass quality control and will be effectively garbage

You believe cost of goods sold will be $$3000$ eventually, but in the first year of production it will be $$4000$ and you expect it to decrease by $$200$ each year until it hits $$3000$

Your fixed costs to operate the facility are expected to be $$5M$ per year

CCA rate is $25\%$ for the facility, and you will be able to include the costs of design, build, and commission as part of the plant

The corporate income tax rate is $34\%$

This plant will be your only operation, meaning if you ever have negative taxible income, you cannot use it elsewhere $($ie$.$ taxible income cannot be $$$$0)$
