Wettway Sailboat Corporation is considering whether to launch its new Margo-class sailboat. The selling price will be $41,000 per boat. The variable costs will be about half that, or $20,000 per boat, and fixed costs will be $465,000 per year. The total investment needed to undertake the project is $3,100,000. This amount will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the 5-year life of the equipment. The salvage value is zero, and there are no working capital consequences.

Use the following base case information to evaluate the project: PT Kolam Makara has a project costs $900,000, has a five-year life, and has a salvage value of $130,000. Depreciation is straight-line to zero. The required return is 14% and tax rate is 34%. Sales are projected at 2350 units per year. Price per unit is $400. Variable cost per unit is $200 and fixed costs are $150,000 per year. It is known that the depreciation expense is $180,000 per year. The engineering department estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $50,000. Suppose you think that the unit sales, price, variable cost, and fixed cost projections given are accurate to within 7%.1. What are the upper and lower bounds for these projections?2. What is the base-case NPV?3. What are the best- and worst- case scenario NPVs?
We are evaluating a project that costs $1,800,000, has a 6-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 87,300 units per year. Price per unit is $38.19, variable cost per unit is $23.40, and fixed costs are $827,000 per year. The tax rate is 24 percent and we require a return of 9 percent on this project. Suppose the projections given for price, quantity, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within ±10 percent. Calculate the best-case and worst-case NPV figures. Note: A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. Best-case NPV Worst-case NPV
You are considering a proposal to produce and market a new sluffing machine. The most likely outcomes for the project are as follows: Expected sales: 115,000 units per year Unit price: $220 Variable cost: $132 Fixed cost: $4,890,000 The project will last for 10 years and requires an initial investment of $16.70 million, which will be depreciated straight-line over the project life to a final value of zero. The firm's tax rate is 30%, and the required rate of return is 12%. However, you recognize that some of these estimates are subject to error. In one scenario a sharp rise in the dollar could cause sales to fall 30% below expectations for the life of the project and, if that happens, the unit price would probably be only $210. The good news is that fixed costs could be as low as $3,260,000, and variable costs would decline in proportion to sales. a. What is project NPV if all variables are as expected? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in thousands not in…

Ursus, Incorporated, is considering a project that would have a five-year life and would require a $2,400,000 investment in equipment. At the end of five years, the project would terminate and the equipment would have no salvage value.
