Vita-Juice is considering jumping on the pomegranate and acai bandwagon by producing Vita-Poma and Vita-Acai beverages in 2018 (t=1). New production equipment and facilities costing $30 million will be required in 2017(t =0) and fall into the 5-year straight-line depreciation class. Additional net working capital of $5 million will also be needed in 2017. Here are sales projections for the proposed projects. Year Expected New Sales 2016 $22 million 2017 $30 million 2018 $25 million 2019 $20 million Projected operating costs (other than depreciation) are 73% of sales for the new beverages. However, Vita-Juice estimates that projected sales for other beverages will fall $5 million in 2018, $8 million in 2019, $7 million in 2020, and $4 million in 2021 if they introduce the new beverages. Projected operating costs for these existing beverages are 68% of sales. At the end of 2021, the project will end and the production equipment and facilities could be sold for an estimated $10 million.
