The facility will be built on a piece of land located in the forest that WF has just purchased at $10 million for the purpose. The land is expected to be worth $2 million at the end of the project. WF uses a ten-year planning horizon for all of its capital budgeting decisions. The production facility will be constructed at a cost of $12 million. It will be depreciated at its full costs on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 10 years, and its salvage value is $4 million. Machinery will also be purchased at a cost of $6 million. The machinery will also be depreciated at its full costs on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 10 years. Its salvage value is $500,000. In addition, an initial investment of $2 million working capital is required. The working capital will be fully recovered at the end of the project. Current annual pre-tax cash income of $4 million from the existing production facility and WF expects that with the production facility, annual pre-tax cash income will be $6 million in each of the next 10 years.
