You are evaluating a project for a superior pickleball paddle. The company has spent $65,000 on pickleball market research. You estimate the sales price for a superior paddle to be $200 per unit and sales volume to be 1,000 units in year 1; 1,200 units in year 2; and 1,100 units in year 3. The project has a three-year life. Variable costs amount to $50 per unit and fixed costs are $75,000 per year. The project requires manufacturing equipment with a cost of $140,000; Installation of the equipment will cost an additional $10,000. The company can use bonus depreciation. The salvage value of the equipment at the end of year 3 is expected to be $5,000. It is expected that sales of the superior pickleball paddle will decrease sales of existing paddles by $20,000 per year. NWC levels (balances) at the beginning of each year will equal 20 percent of the projected sales during the coming year; for example, year 0 NWC equals 20% of year 1 sales.

The manufacturing process of a new product is very labor intensive. The learning curve percentage (LC) for the process is 90%. It took 30 hours with 15 workers together to produce the first product. The average labor cost including overhead expenses is about $20 per hour. (a) Estimate the labor cost (including overhead expenses) to produce the tenth product? (Hint: 2 steps. How long is T_10? How much is the cost?) (b) A new training program is intended to lower the learning-curve percentage by 10% (minus 10%). If the program is successful, what cost savings will be realized for the tenth unit? (Hint: How long is the new T_10? How much is the new cost? How much is the cost saving?)
