You estimate the sales price of The Tiff-any to be $430 per unit and sales volume to be 1,000 units in year 1; 1,500 units in year 2; and 1,325 units in year 3. The project has a 3-year life. Variable costs amount to $240 per unit and fixed costs are $100,000 per year.

The actual market value of these assets at the end of year 3 is expected to be $38,000. NWC requirements at the beginning of each year will be approximately 20 percent of the projected sales during the coming year. The tax rate is 34 percent and the required return on the project is 10 percent.
