Project Analysis McGilla Golf has decided to sell a new line of
golf clubs. The clubs will sell for $725 per set and have a
variable cost of $315 per set. The company has spent $150,000 for a
marketing study that determined the company will sell 45,000 sets
per year for seven years. The marketing study also determined that
the company will lose sales of 11,000 sets of its high-priced
clubs. The highpriced clubs sell at $1,200 and have variable costs
of $640. The company will also increase sales of its cheap clubs by
10,000 sets. The cheap clubs sell for $390 and have variable costs
of $175 per set. The fixed costs each year will be $5,900,000. The
company has also spent $1,000,000 on research and development for
the new clubs. The plant and equipment required will cost
$12,950,000 and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis. The
new clubs will also require an increase in net working
capital
of $1,900,000 that will be returned at the end of the project. The
tax rate is 40 percent, and the cost of capital is 14 percent.
