1) He estimates his initial revenue for the first year would be $220,000 with an increase of 5% per year for the 10-year project life.

2) Returns on products by customers are estimated at 7% of revenues for all years.

3) Cost of goods sold (COGS), which is the total of all operating expenses to make the product are estimated as 35% of the revenues.

The building will be depreciated as real property. Assume the business will be operational in the 1st month of the year, and will be sold in the last month. Based on this, the first year’s depreciation will be 2.461% of the cost of real estate, and subsequent years will have a depreciation of 2.564%.
