Your company is considering an expansion of its existing facility for a new product line. The new product will require a $2.0 million investment in equipment that will be depreciated over its economic life (5 years) to $0 using the straight-line method; it is expected that the equipment can be sold for 25% of its initial book value. Expected revenues are $1,500,000 for the first year, $1.75 million in year 2, $2.1 million in year 3, $2.0 million in year 4, and $1.75 million in year 5. Production costs are initially 65% of sales in year 1 and will increase by 2% afterwards. The new line will require a one-time increase in working capital of $100,000 of which is expected to be recovered at the end of the project.

Less than $500,000 Between $500,000 and $600,000 Between $600,000 and $700,000 Above $700,000 7.12
