Your company has been doing well, reaching $1.04 million in earnings, and is considering launching a new product. Designing the new product has already cost $507,000. The company estimates that it will sell 839,000 units per year for $2.95 per unit and variable non-labor costs will be $1.04 per unit. Production will end after year 3. New equipment costing $1.04 million will be required. The equipment will be depreciated to zero using the 7-year MACRS schedule. You plan to sell the equipment for book value at the end of year 3. Your current level of working capital is $303,000. The new product will require the working capital to increase to a level of $385,000 immediately, then to $399,000 in year 1, in year 2 the level will be $341,000, and finally in year 3 the level will return to $303,000. Your tax rate is 21%. The discount rate for this project is 9.8%. Do the capital budgeting analysis for this project and calculate its NPV.
