Cardinal Company is considering a five-year project that would require a $2,765,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years and no salvage value. The companys discount rate is 14%. The project would provide net operating income in each of five years as follows:

Sales			$	2,851,000
Variable expenses				1,150,000
Contribution margin				1,701,000
Fixed expenses:
Advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs	$	670,000
Depreciation		553,000
Total fixed expenses				1,223,000
Net operating income			$	478,000

8. Assume a postaudit showed that all estimates (including total sales) were exactly correct except for the variable expense ratio, which actually turned out to be 50%.
