Elite Company is planning to add a new product to its line. To manufacture this product, the company needs to buy a new machine at a $300,000 cost with an expected 4 year life and a $20,000 salvage value. All sales are for cash and all costs are out of pocket except for depreciation on the new machine. Additional information includes the following:
Expected annual sales of a new product = $1,150,000
Expected annual costs of a new product:
Direct materials = $300,000
Direct labor = $420,000
Overhead excluding straight-line depreciation on new machine = $210,000
Selling and administrative expenses = $100,000
Income taxes = 30%
