Case: Innovation Inc. sells tablets and smartwatches. The company is considering a new 5-year project that would utilize existing equipment. This equipment was purchased 2 years ago for $812,500 and has a current market value of $625,000. The project will also increase inventory by $50,000 and accounts payable by $66,000. All net working capital will be recovered at the end of the project. The fixed assets will be depreciated on a straight-line basis to zero over the life of the project, and will be salvaged for $20,000 at the end of the project.
Last year, Innovation Inc. sold 8,600 smartwatches for $60 each, and 5,200 tablets for $110 each. After purchasing the new equipment, Innovation Inc. expects to sell 10,000 smartwatches for $55 each and 14,000. The price of tablets will remain unchanged.
The new equipment will reduce the variable cost of smartwatches from $50 to $42. The variable cost of tablets is expected to remain $75. The project will also reduce fixed production costs by $18,000 annually.
Innovation Inc. faces a 21 percent tax rate and the company's discount rate is 12.8 percent.
