Production of the implants will require $1,500,000 in networking capital to start. It is expected that networking capital requirements are not changing over the life of the project. Total fixed costs are $3,300,000 per year,variable production costs are $225 per unit, and the units are priced at $375 each. The equipment needed to begin production has an installed cost of
$16,500,000. Because the implants are intended for professional singers, this equipment is considered industrial machinery and thus qualifies as a seven-year MACRS property. In five years, this equipment can be sold for about 20 percent of the acquisition cost. The tax rate is 21 percent and the required returns is 18 percent.

Based on these preliminary estimates,
