Cardinal Company is considering a five-year project that would require a $2,915,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years and no salvage value. The companys discount rate is 16%. The project would provide net operating income in each of five years as follows:

Sales $ 2,863,000Variable expenses 1,014,000Contribution margin 1,849,000Fixed expenses: Advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs$ 781,000 Depreciation583,000 Total fixed expenses 1,364,000Net operating income

13. Assume a postaudit showed that all estimates (including total sales) were exactly correct except for the variable expense ratio, which actually turned out to be 45%. What was the projects actual net present value? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

14. Assume a postaudit showed that all estimates (including total sales) were exactly correct except for the variable expense ratio, which actually turned out to be 45%. What was the projects actual payback period? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

15. Assume a postaudit showed that all estimates (including total sales) were exactly correct except for the variable expense ratio, which actually turned out to be 45%. What was the projects actual simple rate of return? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
