2 Calculating the present value of variable cash flows

Your company has prepared forecasts for the development costs and operating profits of the next generation of your product. Development costs for each of the next three years (Years 1 to

3)will be $50,000. Manufacturing equipment costing $100,000 will be purchased at the end of Year 3. Annual profits for the five-year product life (from Year 4 to Year 8) are projected to be $80,000. The salvage value of the manufacturing equipment at the end of Year 8 is $20,000. Given a 12% discount rate, should your company proceed with the product development?
