A company is considering constructing a plant to manufacture a proposed new product. The land costs $300,000, the building costs $600,000, the equipment
costs $250,000, and $100,000 additional working capital is required. It is expected that the product will result in sales of $750,000 per year for 10 years, at which
time the land can be sold for $400,000, the building for $350,000, and the equipment for $50,000. All of the
working capital would be recovered at the EOY 10. The annual expenses for labor, materials, and all other items
are estimated to total $475,000. If the company requires a MARR of 15% per year on projects of comparable risk,
determine if it should invest in the new product line. Solve using all methods (RR, AC, PW, FW, AW, IRR,ERR, SPP, DPP, B/D,)
