You are considering a new product launch. The project will cost $2,050,000, have a four- year life, and have no salvage value; depreciation is straight-line to zero. Sales are projected at 210 units per year; price per unit will be $18.900, variable cost per unit will be $12,200, and fixed costs will be $600.000 per year. The required return on the project is 12 percent, and the relevant tax rate is 24 percent. a. Based on your experience, you think the unit sales, variable cost, and fixed cost projections given here are probably accurate to within 10 percent. What are the upper and lower bounds for these projections? What is the base-case NPV? What are the best-case and worst-case scenarios? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your NPV answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. Round your other answers to the nearest whole number, e.g. 32.) Scenario C.

Gateway Communications is considering a project with an initial fixed assets cost of $1.49 million that will be depreciated straight-line to a zero book value over the 9-year life of the project. At the end of the project the equipment will be sold for an estimated $246,000. The project will not change sales but will reduce operating costs by $411,000 per year. The tax rate is 21 percent and the required return is 12.1 percent. The project will require $55,000 in net working capital, which will be recouped when the project ends. What is the project's NPV?
