ZXY Company is considering a new line of business. The basic information on the project is as follows.

- Unit price of products starts at $100 and will drop to $90 after 2 years because of expected competition.

- Projected unit sales are 6,000 for the first 2 years and 5,000 for the next 2 years (4-year project)

- The project requires $30,000 as net working capital in the beginning (year 0) and subsequently 10% of sales from year 1 to year 3. The working capital will be fully recovered at the end of year 4.

- Variable costs: $50 per unit.

- Fixed costs: $40,000 per year.

- Initial costs: $400,000 to buy the equipment necessary and no salvage value expected after the project.

- Depreciation: straight-line depreciation to zero by the end of the project.

- Consulting fees of $50,000 already paid last year.

- Tax rate: 20% - Required return for the firms existing lines of business: 11%

- Required return for this new line of business: 13%
