The Wheel Deal Inc., a company that produces scooters and other wheeled non-motorized recreational equipment is considering an expansion of their product line to Europe. The expansion would require a purchase of equipment with a price of euro 1,200,000 and additional installation of euro 300,000. The new product line is expected to increase net revenues by euro 300,000 for the next 10 years. The equipment is multipurpose and the firm anticipates that they will sell it at the end of the 10th year for euro 500,000. The initial investment (at year 0) also requires an increase in Net Working Capital of euro 100,000 (to be recovered at the end of 10th year).
