yielding the following net incomes. In projecting net incomes,
straight-line depreciation is applied, using a five-year life and a
zero salvage value.

A Company is considering a new product line to supplement its range line. It is anticipated that the new product line will involve cash investment of $700,000 at time 0 and $1.0 million in year 1. After-tax cash inflows of $500,000 are expected in year 2, $300,000 in year 3, $700,000 in year 4, and $400,000 each year thereafter through year 10. Though the product line might be viable after year 10, the company prefers to be conservative and end all calculations at that time.
