It will cost you $790,000 to install the equipment necessary to start production; you'll depreciate this cost straight-line to zero over the project's life. You estimate that, in five years, this equipment can be salvaged for $62,000. Your fixed production costs will be $317,000 per year, and your variable production costs should be $9.50 per carton. You also need an initial investment in net working capital of $67,000. If your tax rate is 35 percent and you require a return of 12 percent on your investment, what bid price should you submit?
