Problem 24-14 Abandonment Value [LO5] We are examining a new project. We expect to sell 5,300 units per year at $67 net cash flow apiece for the next 10 years. In other words, the annual cash flow is projected to be $67 × 5,300 = $355,100. The relevant discount rate is 16 percent, and the initial investment required is $1,520,000. X a. What is the base-case NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b.
