Consider a project to supply Detroit with 35,000 tons of machine screws annually for automobile production. You will need an initial $1,500,000 investment in threading equipment to get the project started; the project will last for five years. The accounting department estimates that annual fixed costs will be $300,000 andthat variable costs should be $200 per ton; accounting will depreciate the initial fixed asset investment straight-line to zero over the five-year project life. It also estimates a salvage value of $500,000 after dismantling costs. The marketing department estimates that the automakers will get the contract at a price of $230 per ton. The engineering department estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $450,000. You require a 13 percent return and facea marginal tax rate of 38 percent on this project.
