Based on a market feasibility study which cost $100,000 to undertake, it anticipates that sales will be $300,000, $500,000 and $650,000 for the first three years.
Thereafter, it will grow at 2% per year indefinitely. Gross profit will be 50% of sales. Fixed overheads in the first three years is estimated to be $75,000 per year and this will increase to $125,000 from year four onwards. Net working capital is estimated to be 12% of sales, which is required at the start of the year. As the firm expects to fully implement a just-in-time inventory system, the net working capital will be fully recovered at the end of year three.
