### Project Evaluation Analysis

We are evaluating a project that costs $2,130,000, has an 8-year life, and no salvage value. Depreciation is straight-line to zero over the project's life. Sales are projected at 90,600 units per year. The price per unit is $38.85, variable cost per unit is $23.95, and fixed costs are $860,000 per year. The tax rate is 25%, and a return of 11% is required on this project.

#### Tasks:

1. **Calculate the base-case operating cash flow and NPV.**  
   *Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.*

2. **What is the sensitivity of NPV to changes in the sales figure?**  
   *Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 3 decimal places, e.g., 32.161.*

3. **If there is a 450-unit decrease in projected sales, how much would the NPV change?**  
   *Note: A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.*

4. **What is the sensitivity of OCF to changes in the variable cost figure?**  
   *Note: A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.*

5. **If there is a $1 decrease in estimated variable costs, how much would the OCF change?**  
   *Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.*

#### Table for Calculations:

| **a. Base-case operating cash flow** |                                          |
|--------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
| **Base-case NPV**                    |                                          |
| **b. NPV sensitivity**               |                                          |
| **c. NPV change**                    |                                          |
| **d. OCF sensitivity**               |                                          |
| **e. OCF change**                    |                                          |

This analysis will help in understanding the impact of changes in sales and cost figures on the project's financial outcomes.
