Marketing: Once the XC-750 is operating next year, the extra capacity is expected to
generate $10 million per year in additional sales, which will continue for the 10-year life of
the machine.
Operations: The disruption caused by the installation will decrease sales by $5 million this
year. Once the machine is operating next year, the cost of goods for the products produced by
the XC-750 is expected to be 70% of their sale price. The increased production will require
additional inventory on hand of $1 million to be added in year 0 and depleted in year 10.
Human Resources: The expansion will require additional sales and administrative personnel
at a cost of $2 million per year.
Accounting: The XC-750 will be depreciated via the straight-line method over the 10-year
life of the machine. The firm expects receivables from the new sales to be 15% of revenues
and payables to be 10% of the cost of goods sold. Billinghams marginal corporate tax rate is
35%.
