To determine: The best-case and worst-case
Introduction:
Net present value (NPV) refers to the current discounted value of the future cash flows. The company should accept the project, if the net present value is positive or greater than zero and vice-versa. If there are two mutually exclusive projects, then the company has to select the project that has higher net present value.
Answer to Problem 21QP
The best-case NPV is $53,849,087.272.
The NPVof worst-caseis -$19,007,791.712.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The new clubs sold $715 per set and number of sets sold is 75,000 set per year. The cheaper club was sold for $425 per set and number of sets sold is 12,000 set per year. The expensive clubs was sold for $1,150 in which the company has lost sales of 10,000 sets.
The variable cost of the new club is $385 per set, variable cost of the expensive cub is $620, and the variable cost of the cheaper club is $195. The fixed costs each years is $9,400,000. The accurate estimate is ±10%.

- QUESTION 7 Which of the following statements is correct? a. When there are two mutually exclusive projects, the project with the highest NPV should be chosen. D. The payback period criterion properly considers the time value of money. OC. The IRR method correctly ranks mutually exclusive projects. d. Since investors prefer more return and less risk, one will never hold a dominated asset in the risk-return sense. In other words, if asset A has a higher expected return and lower standard-deviation than asset B, then investors would only hold asset A in their optimal portfolio. e. When an investment project is evaluated today, the spending that occurred in the last year has to be included in the NPV analysis.arrow_forwardF3arrow_forward18. In a situation such as Acron's, where a one-time cost is followed by a sequence of cash flows, the internal rate of return (IRR) is the discount rate that makes the NPV equal to 0. The idea is that if the discount rate is greater than the IRR, the company will not pursue the project, but if the discount rate is less than the IRR, the project is financially attractive. a. Use Excel's Goal Seek tool to find the IRR for the Acron model. b. Excel also has an IRR function. Look it up in online help to see how it works, and then use it on Acron's model. Of course, you should get the same IRR as in part a. c. Verify that the NPV is negative when the discount rate is slightly greater than the IRR, and that it is positive when the discount rate is slightly less thanarrow_forward
