Aero Motorcycles is considering opening a new manufacturing facility in Fort Worth to meet the demand for a new line of solar-<br>charged motorcycles (who wants to ride on a cloudy day anyway?) The proposed project has the following features;<br>• The firm just spent $300,000 for a marketing study to determine consumer demand (@ t=0).<br>• Aero Motorcycles purchased the land the factory will be built on 5 years ago for $2,000,000 and owns it outright (that is, it does<br>not have a mortgage). The land has a current market value of $2,600,000.<br>• The project has an initial cost of $20,000,000 (excluding land, hint: the land is not subject to depreciation).<br>• If the project is undertaken, at t = 0 the company will need to increase its inventories by $3,500,000, accounts receivable by<br>$1,500,000, and its accounts payable by $2,000,000. This net operating working capital will be recovered at the end of the project's<br>life (t = 10).<br>• If the project is undertaken, the company will realize an additional $8,000,000 in sales over each of the next ten years.
