Question
The most likely outcomes for a particular project are estimated as
follows:
Unit price:
Variable cost:
Fixed cost:
Expected sales:
$ 50
$ 30
$ 490,000
48,000 units per year
However, you recognize that some of these estimates are subject to
error. Suppose each variable turns out to be either 10% higher or 10%
lower than the initial estimate. The project will last for 10 years and
requires an initial investment of $2.3 million, which will be depreciated
straight-line over the project life to a final value of zero. The firm's tax
rate is 21%, and the required rate of return is 10%.
a. NPV
b. NPV
a. What is project's NPV in the best-case scenario, that is, assuming
all variables take on the best possible value?
b. What is project's NPV in the worst-case scenario?
Note: For all the requirements, a negative amount should be
indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answers in dollars, not in
millions. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your
answers to the nearest dollar amount.
