The device is expected to generate additional annual sales of 6,000 units at $284.00 per unit. The equipment has a cost of $669,600, residual value of $50,400, and an eight-year life. The equipment can only be used to manufacture the device. The cost to manufacture the device is shown below.

Cost per unit: Direct labor $47.00 Direct materials 184.00 Factory overhead (including depreciation) 32.00 Total cost per unit $263.00
