. Fine Delicacies Inc. (FDI) manufactures and distributes fine chocolates. FDI is considering the development of a new line of sugar-free truffles. FDI's CFO has collected the following information regarding the proposed project, which is expected to last 3 years: The project can be operated at the company's Savannah plant, which is currently vacant. The project will require that the company spend $4,300,000 today (t = 0) to purchase additional equipment. The machinery is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at t=0 (in other words, you can assume that the project operates under the new tax bill passed in 2017), so it will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase, which means that there will be no depreciation expense after t= 0. The company plans to use the equipment for all 3 years of the project. At t= 3 (which is the project's last year of operation), the equipment is expected to be sold for $2,300,000 before taxes.

The cost of the working capital will be fully recovered at t = 3 (which is the project's last year of operation). Expected sugar-free truffle sales are as follows: .
