Abbyfan is considering developing a Internet of Things appliance, called IOTA. Sales forecast for IOTA is 40,000 units per year. The product will have a viable market for 4 years at an expected price of $200, after which the product will have zero sales. Production will be outsourced at a cost of $90 per unit. To verify the compatibility with the IOTA system, Abbyfan must establish a new lb for testing purposes. They will rent the lab space, but need to purchase $6.5 million of new equipment. The equipment will be depreciated using the straight-line method over a 5-year life. The lab will be operational in one year, at which point IOTA can ship the product. Abbyfan expects to spend $2.0 million per year on rental costs for the lab space, as well as marketing and support for this product. Abbyfan expects no incremental cash or inventory, but receivables related to IOTA are expected to account for 15% of annual sales and payables are expected to be 15% of the annual cost of goods sold. Abbyfan's managers believe that the IOTA project has risks similar to its existing projects, for which it has a cost of capital of 15%. Should Abbyfan pursue the IOTA project
