RET Inc. currently has one product, low-priced stoves. RET Inc.has decided to sell a new line of medium-priced stoves. Sales revenues for the new line of stoves are estimated at $6 million a year. Variable costs are 70% of sales.The project is expected to last 10 years. Also,non-variable costs are $1 million per year. The company has spent $2 million in research and a marketing study that determined the company will lose (cannibalization) $0.8 million in sales a year of its existing low-priced stoves. The production variable cost of the existing low-priced stoves is $0.5 million a year.

The plant and equipment required for producing the new line of stoves costs $2 million and will be depreciated using 7-year class MACRS depreciation. It is expected that the plant and equipment can be sold (salvage value) for $0.5 million at the end of 10 years. The new stoves will also require today an increase in net working capital of $0.4 million that will be returned at the end of the project.

The tax rate is 25 percent and the cost of capital is 10%.
