Apple is considering a project with a three-year life and an initial cost of $90,000. The discount rate for the project is 16 percent. The firm expects to sell 1,400 units on the last day of each year. The cash flow per unit is $35. The firm will have the option to abandon this project following the sales on the last day of year 2 at which time the project's assets could be sold for an estimated $45,000.
