4
5
Unit Sales
74, 000
87, 000
106, 250
98, 500
67, 800
Production of the implants will require $1,750,000 in net working capital to start and additional net working capital investments
each year equal to 15 percent of the projected sales increase for the following year. Total fixed costs are $3,700,000 per year,
variable production costs are $260 per unit, and the units are priced at $390 each. The equipment needed to begin production
has an installed cost of $17,500,000. Because the implants are intended for professional singers, this equipment is considered
industrial machinery and thus qualifies as seven-year MACRS property. In five years, this equipment can be sold for about 20
percent of its acquisition cost. The tax rate is 25 percent and the required return is 17 percent. MACRS schedule
