5. The Akana Company expects to sell 3,000 units, ± 15 percent, of a new product. The variable cost per unit is $8, ± 5 percent, and the annual fixed costs are $12,500, ± 5 percent. The annual depreciation expense is $4,000 and the sale price is $18 per unit, ± 2 percent. The project requires $24,000 of fixed assets which will be worthless when the project ends in six years. Also required is $6,500 of net working capital for the life of the project. The tax rate is 21 percent and the required rate of return is 12 percent. What is the net present value of the optimistic, best, and pessimistic cases using scenario analysis?

Roberts Company is considering an investment in equipment that is capable of producing more efficiently than the current technology. The outlay required is 2,293,200. The equipment is expected to last five years and will have no salvage value. The expected cash flows associated with the project are as follows: Required: 1. Compute the projects payback period. 2. Compute the projects accounting rate of return. 3. Compute the projects net present value, assuming a required rate of return of 10 percent. 4. Compute the projects internal rate of return.
A suggested project requires initial fixed assets of $227,000, has a life of 4 years, and has no salvage value. Assume depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 31,000 units per year, the price per unit is $47, variable cost per unit is $23, and fixed costs are $842,900 per year. The tax rate is 23 percent and the required return is 11.5 percent. Suppose the projections given for price and quantity can vary by ±4 percent while variable and fixed cost estimates are accurate to within ±2 percent. What is the best-case NPV?
A project under consideration costs $750,000, has a five-year life and has no salvage value. Depreciation is Straight-Line to zero. The Required Return is 17 percent, and the Tax Rate is 34 percent.

a company is evaluating new 4-year project. The necessary fixed assets will cost $157,000 and be depreciated on a 3-year MACRS and have no salvage value. The MACRS percentages each year are 33.33 percent, 44.45 percent, 14.81 percent, and 7.41 percent, respectively. The project will have annual sales of $98,000, variable costs of $27,400, and fixed costs of $12,000. The project will also require net working capital of $2,600 that will be returned at the end of the project. The company has a tax rate of 21 percent and the project's required return is 10 percent.

Bourque Enterprises is considering a new project. The project will generate sales of $1.6 million, $2.3 million, $2.2 million, and $1.7 million over the next four years, respectively. The fixed assets required for the project will cost $2.1 million and will be eligible for 100 percent bonus depreciation. At the end of the project, the fixed assets can be sold for $165,000. Variable costs will be 25 percent of sales and fixed costs will be $540,000 per year. The project will require NWC equal to 20 percent of sales that must be accumulated in the year prior to sales. The required return on the project is 13 and the tax rate is 24 percent. What is the NPV of the project?
