Last month your company posted $100,000 with Contracts-R-Us to get approved to bid on contracts via their website. Trump Enterprises is looking for a supplier of red baseball caps, and your boss wants you to bid on the contract. The company requires 112,000 baseball caps per year over the next five years. You estimate that the necessary equipment will cost $790,000, and the equipment will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's life. You believe this equipment can be sold for $62,000 at the end of the project. You further estimate the fixed costs to be $317,000 per year, and the variable production costs to be $9.50 per hat. You'll need an initial investment in net working capital of $67,000, but this will be recovered at the end of the project. Your tax rate is 35 percent and you require a return of 12 percent on your investment.
