You will need an initial $5,400,000 investment in threading equipment to get the project started; the project will last for 6 years. The accounting department estimates that annual fixed costs will be $1,300,000 and that variable costs should be $245 per ton; accounting will depreciate the initial fixed asset investment straight-line to zero over the 6-year project life.
