GnuYak Industries is considering a new project that will last for three years. This project requires an initial investment in a machine that costs £90,000 immediately (year 0) and will be depreciated in straight line over its three-year life to a residual value of 0. The management expects this project will result in sales of £100,000 and cost of goods sold will be 50% of sales each year. This project also requires a total net working capital of £10,000 in...
