RET Inc. currently has two products, low and high 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 $500 a year. Variable costs are 70% of sales. The project is expected to last 10 years. Also, non-variable costs are $150 per year. The company has spent $40 in research and a marketing study that determined the company will have synergy gains/sales of $60 a year from sales of its existing high-priced stoves. The production variable cost of these sales is $40 a year. The plant and equipment required for producing the new line of stoves costs $200 and will be depreciated down to zero over 20 years using straight-line depreciation. It is expected that the plant and equipment can be sold (salvage value) for $150 at the end of 10 years. The new stoves will also require today an increase in net working capital of $60 that will be returned at the end of the project. The tax rate is 30 percent and the cost of capital is 10%. 1.
