Problem 7-18 Abandonment We are examining a new project. We expect to sell 5,000 units per year at $64 net cash flow apiece for the next 10 years. In other words, the annual operating cash flow is projected to be $64 x 5,000 $320,000. The relevant discount rate is 13 percent, and the initial investment required is $1,610,000. After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $1,210,000.
