Years 18
The Project Team determined to evaluate the PAK 1.0 over an eight-year life. However, it
believes its economic life could be longer but concluded eight years would be conservative in
evaluating the economics of the project. The Project Team has developed the following
forecast assumptions.
Pricing per unit is as follows:
o $765,000 per unit
o $32,000 annual maintenance agreement. It is assumed this agreement will be
purchased in the year of the purchase of the unit only, as future renewals are
uncertain.
o Both are expected to have annual price increases of 3% per year
o Number of units sold:
Year 1-50
Year 275
Year 3125
Year 4150
Year 5170
Year 6170
Year 7135
Year 8110
o Direct material expense per unit is expected to be $400,000 in the year of
introduction and will increase 3% per year
o Manufacturing labor expense:
Direct labor full-time-equivalents (FTE) of 2.5 per machine at a cost of
$70,000 per FTE
Indirect labor FTE 1.5 per machine at a cost of $55,000 per FTE
Labor costs will increase at 2.0% annually
