The cockroach eradicator project will require $2,000,000 in net working capital to start, and total net working capital will rise to 15% of the change in sales. The variable cost per unit is $295, and total fixed costs are $1,500,000 per year. The equipment necessary to begin production will cost a total of $17 million.
