Perform a scenario analysis creating a best case and a worst case in addition to the base case. The managers give you the following information.

The chief marketing officer (CMO) estimates that they will sell 3,000 units a year for 5 years at a price of $195 each. If people really like the concept of brewing their own frappuccinos and lattes she estimates that they will sell 5,000 units a year and can charge $225 per unit. She estimates that there is a 30% chance of this. If people do not want the bother of brewing their own and do not worry about going inside the Starbucks, then she estimates they will only sell 1,000 units and can only sell them for $175 each. She estimates there is a 20% chance of this happening.

The chief operations officer (COO) estimates that the variable costs to build these will be 75% of revenue. If they can get the higher volumes, then he estimates the cost to be only 70%. But with the really low volumes the cost will be 80%.

The chief financial officer (CFO) says the company will use the MACRS 3 year class for depreciation. He estimates that the assembly line will have salvage value of $25,000. However, he notes that worst case there may be nothing to salvage and best case they could find a buyer willing to pay $35,000. He notes that Starbucks tax rate is 24% and that the normal WACC is 7.2%. He notes that the WACC could be as high as 8% (worst case) and as low as 6.9% (best case).
