Please do it correctly. Need the correct answer
Transcribed Image Text:We project unit sales for a new household-use laser-guided cockroach search and destroy system as follows:
Year
1
2
3
4
5
Unit Sales
95,500
107,500
130,500
136,500
89,500
The new system will be priced to sell at $420 each.
The cockroach eradicator project will require $1,900,000 in net working capital to start, and total net working capital will rise to 15% of
the change in sales. The variable cost per unit is $290, and total fixed costs are $1,400,000 per year. The equipment necessary to
begin production will cost a total of $17 million. This equipment is mostly industrial machinery and thus qualifies for CCA at a rate of
20%. In five years, this equipment will actually be worth about 20% of its cost.
The relevant tax rate is 35%, and the required return is 18%. Based on these preliminary estimates, what is the NPV of the project?
(Enter the answer in dollars. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign
