Knight Shades Inc. is considering adding new line of sunglasses to their designer series. The glasses will sell for $1,100 per pair and have a variable cost of $400 per unit. The company has spent $101,000 for a marketing study that estimates the company will sell 74,000 sunglasses per year for seven years. The fixed costs each year to produce the sunglasses will be $5,040,000. The company has also spent $706,000 on research and development for the new glasses. The new plant and equipment will cost $12,000,000 at start-up and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis to zero over the seven years. At the end of the seven years the plant and equipment will be worthless. The new sunglasses will also require an increase in net working capital of $664,000 that will be returned at the end of the project. The tax rate is 40 percent, and the cost of capital is 9 percent. The marketing study also estimates that introducing the new sunglasses will reduce sales of the company's high-priced…
