Apple is considering a project where they will make Espresso coffee makers. They can buy the equipment they need to make the coffee makers for $600,000 plus another $70,000 for training and installation. They will have to increase inventory by $55,000 and accounts payable will increase $20,000. They think they can sell 7,000 coffee makers a year at a price of $75 each for 4 years. The estimate variable costs at 35% of revenue. They follow a four yeas MACRS schedule for depreciation with the following depreciation rates:

Year 1: 33%

Year 2: 45%

Year 3: 15%

Year 4: 7%

They believe the equipment has a salvage value of $15,000. Apple has a tax rate of 28%.
