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 must 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 $59,730,546.67 and the NPVof worst-caseis −$2,867,597.69.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The new clubs sold $825 per set and the number of sets sold is 55,000 set per year. The cheaper club was sold for $410 per set and the number of sets sold is 12,000 set per year. The expensive clubs was sold for $1,100 in which the company has lost sales of 10,000 sets.
The variable cost of the new club is $395 per set, the variable cost of the expensive cub is $650, and the variable cost of the cheaper club is $185. The fixed costs for every year is $9,200,000. The accurate estimate is ±10%. The net working capital is $1,400,000. The tax rate is 40% and the cost of capital is 10%. Cost of plant and machinery is $29,400,000.
