What is the NPV of the new project? Assume that the cost of capital is 10 percent. The range of values that the underlying variables can take under three scenarios: pessimistic, expected and optimistic are as shown below:

 

Underlying Variable Investment               (Rs. in million)	Pessimistic   420	Expected   400	Optimistic  360
Sales (Rs. in million)	350	440	500
Variable cost as a percent of sales	80	75	70
Fixed costs (Rs. in million)	25	20	18
Cost of capital (%)	11	10	9
