A manufacturing company is thinking of launching a new product. The company expects to sell $950,000 of the new product in the first year and $1,5000,000 each year thereafter. Direct costs including labor and material will be 45% of sales. Indirect incremental costs are estimated at $95,000 a year. The project requires a new plant that will cost a total of $1,500,000, which will be depreciated straight line over the next 5 years. The new line will also require an additional net investment in inventory and receivables in the amount of $200,000.
Assume there is no need for additional investment in building the land for the project. The firms marginal tax rate is 35%, and its cost of capital is 10%.
