Chapter 11
Victoria Sailboats Limited is considering whether to launch its new Mona-class sailboat. The selling price
would be $40,000 per boat. The variable costs would be about half that, or $20,000 per boat, and fixed
costs will be $500,000 per year.
The Base Case: The total investment needed to undertake the project is $3.5 million for leasehold
improvements to the company’s factory. This amount will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the
five-year life of the equipment. The salvage value is zero, and there are no working capital
consequences. Victoria has a 20 percent required return on new projects.
