Matheson Electronics developed a new electronic device it believes will have broad market appeal. The company gathered the following estimates:

a$.$ The equipment needed to make the device would cost $$300,000$ and have a six$-$year useful life with a salvage value of $$24,000.$

b$.$ Sales in units over the next six years are projected to be as follows:

$\backslash$table$[[$Year$,$Sales in Units$],[1,10,000],[2,15,000],[3,17,000],[4-6,19,000]]$

c$.$ Production and sales of the device would require working capital of $$61,000$ to be released at the end of the project's life.

d$.$ The device would sell for $$30$ each with a variable cost of $$10$ per unit.

e$.$ Fixed costs for salaries, maintenance, property taxes, insurance, and straight$-$line depreciation on the equipment would total $$174,000$ per year. $($Depreciation is based on cost less salvage value.$)$

f$.$ To gain rapid entry into the market, the company would invest heavily in advertising as follows:

$\backslash$table$[[,\backslash$table$[[$Amount of Yearly,$],[$Year$,$Advertising$]]],[1-2,$$$150,000$
