You are evaluating a project for your company. You estimate the sales price to be $520 per unit and sales volume to be 2,200 units in year 1; 3,200 units in year 2; and 1,700 units in year 3. The project has a three-year life. Variable costs amount to $320 per unit and fixed costs are $210,000 per year. The project requires an initial investment of $335,000 in assets which will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the three-year project life.

The Engineers in a certain company are considering introducing a new product line. The initial investment required for this project is 250,000 OMR and the annual maintenance costs are expected to be 14,500 OMR.
