Consider a project to supply your church with 55,000 gallons of hand sanitizer annually for church services. You estimate that you will need an initial Gh¢4,200,000 in terms of investment to get the project started. The project will last for 5 years. The project will bring in annual cash flows of Gh¢1,375,000. It also estimates a salvage value of Gh¢300,000 after dismantling costs. Your cost of capital is 13 percent. Assume no taxes or depreciation. Required: d) You just received additional information that suggests that your base case (answer to a), best case (b) and worst case (c) scenarios have probabilities of 0.35, 0.35 and 0.30 respectively. What will be the expected NPV of the sanitizer project. What about the standard deviation of the sanitizer project? Do you think the project is still viable?
