A company is uncertain how many units of a new product can be sold each year. To determine its sensitivity to varying annual sales volumes, cost estimates for manufacturing the product were found to be as follows: Direct materials = $4.50 perunit Direct labor = $10.25perunit Overhead = $25,000 + P3.10 per unit In addition, new equipment costing $150,000 will be needed. It is expected that it would be used for 10 years with a salvage value of $25,000 at the end of that time. A market study indicates that the product will sell $25.00 per unit. If money is worth 12% to the company before taxes, determine the rate of return for annual sales volume of 4,000 units
