They have been very successful intheir first five years in operation and Brian (the owner) isconsidering adding a second boat. A new 80’ Viking would cost$5,000,000 with another $1,000,000 needed to upgrade the interiorto a level that would attract the wealthy clients they desire. Theboat would be depreciated straight-line over 15 years, but would besold at the end of five years, for an estimated $5,000,000. The newboat would generate estimated additional revenue of $2,000,000 peryear and would have associated expenses of $625,000. No additionalworking capital would be necessary.
