The company is considering using a graphitelike material in its
tennis rackets. The company has estimated the information in the
following table about the market for a racket with the new
material. The company expects to sell the racket for 6 years. The
equipment required for the project will be depreciated on a
straight-line basis and has no salvage value. The required return
for projects of this type is 13 percent and the company has a 21
percent tax rate. Pessimistic Expected Optimistic Market size
116,000 126,000 138,000 Market share 19 % 23 % 25 % Selling price $

costs per year $ 981,000 $ 926,000 $ 896,000 Initial investment $
1,986,000 $ 1,836,000 $ 1,816,000
