The cost of the XC-750 is $2.75 million. Unfortunately, installing this machine will take several months and will partially disrupt production. The firm has just completed a $50,000 feasibility study to analyze the decision to buy the XC-750, resulting in the following estimates: • Marketing: Once the XC-750 is operational next year, the extra capacity is expected to generate $10.00 million per year in additional sales, which will continue for the 10-year life of the machine. • Operations: The disruption caused by the installation will decrease sales by $5.00 million this year. As with Billingham's existing products, the cost of goods for the products produced by the XC-750 is expected to be 70% of their sale price. The increased production will also require increased inventory on hand of $1.00 million during the life of the project, including…arrow_forward
