Problem 6-32 Project Evaluation Aria Acoustics, Incorporated (AAI), projects unit sales for a new 7-octave voice emulation Implant as follows: Year Unit Sales 1 76,800 82,200 88,600 85,100 72,700 Production of the implants will require $1,560,000 in net working capital to start and additional net working capital investments each year equal to 10 percent of the projected sales increase for the following year. Total fixed costs are $4,200,000 per year, variable production costs are $151 per unit, and the units are priced at $333 each. The equipment needed to begin production has an installed cost of $19,300,000. Because the implants are intended for professional singers, this equipment is considered industrial machinery and thus qualifies as 7-year MACRS property. In five years, this equipment can be sold for about 15 percent of its acquisition cost. The tax rate is 21 percent and the required return is 16 percent. (MACRS schedule) a.
