The projected cash flows and other data are shown in the table: Project Data Project life 4 years Unit sales (per year) 1,200 Price (per unit) 50.00 Variable cost (per unit) 20.00 Fixed cost (per year) 3,000 Fixed capital investments 90,000 Fixed assets are depreciated straight-line over 4 years to book value of zero Net working capital investments 12,000 Salvage value of fixed assets at the end of three years 10,000 Marginal tax rate 20% Cost of capital 14%
