We are evaluating a project that costs $872,000, has an 12-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 140,000 units per year. Price per unit is $42, variable cost per unit is $29, and fixed costs are $885,952 per year. The tax rate is 34 percent, and we require a 15 percent return on this project.
