Problem 10-36 Project Evaluation (L01] Aria Acoustics, Inc. (AAI), projects unit sales for a new seven-octave voice emulation implant as follows: Year points Skipped Unit Sales 73,400 86,400 105,500 97,600 67,500 Production of the implants will require $1,600,000 in net working capital to start and additional net working capital investments each year equal to 15 percent of the projected sales increase for the following year. Total fixed costs are $3,400,000 per year, variable production costs are $257 per unit, and the units are priced at $381 each. The equipment needed to begin production has an installed cost of $16,900,000. Because the implants are intended for professional singers, this equipment is considered industrial machinery and thus qualifies as seven-year MACRS property. In five years, this equipment can be sold for about 20 percent of its acquisition cost. The tax rate is 22 percent the required return is 14 percent. MACRS schedule a. What is the NPV of the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the IRR? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) a. NPV b. IRR
