laser-guided cockroach search and destroy system as follows:
Year Unit Sales

2105,000
3128,000

The cockroach eradicator project will require $1,800,000 in net working capital to start, and total net working capital will rise to 15% of the change in sales. The variable cost per unit is $265, and total fixed costs are $1,200,000 per year. The equipment necessary to begin production will cost a total of $24 million. This equipment is mostly industrial machinery and thus qualifies for CCA at a rate of 20%. In five years, this equipment will actually be worth about 20% of its cost. The relevant tax rate is 35%, and the required return is 18%. How com the change in NWC at yr 5 is 1458000? How was that number calculate?
