Caspian Sea Drinks is considering the production of a diet drink. The expansion of the plant and the purchase of the equipment necessary to produce the diet drink will cost $22.00 million. The plant and equipment will be depreciated over 10 years to a book value of $1.00 million, and sold for that amount in year 10. Net working capital will increase by $1.28 million at the beginning of the project and will be recovered at the end. The new diet drink will produce revenues of $9.08 million per year and cost $2.12 million per year over the 10-year life of the project.
