Using the (accelerated/strsight-line) depreciation method will result in the highest NPV for the project.

McFann Co. is considering an investment that will have the following sales, variable costs, and fixed operating costs: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 3,400 $17.25 $17.33 $17.45 $18.24 $9.06 Fixed operating costs except depreciation $12,500 $13,000 $13,220 $13,250 7% 3,000 Unit sales Sales price Variable cost per unit 3,250 3,300 $8.88 $8.92 $9.03 Accelerated depreciation rate 33% 45% 15% This project will require an investment of $15,000 in new equipment. The equipment will have no salvage value at the end of the project's four-year life. McFann pays a constant tax rate of 40%, and it has a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 11%. Determine what the project's net present value (NPV) would be when using accelerated depreciation Determine what the project's net present value (NPV) would be when using accelerated depreciation o $17,196 O $19,775 O $13,757 O $20,635 Now determine what the project's NPV would be when using straight-line depreciation $22,022 $16,093 $21,175 $16,940 Using the depreciation method will result in the highest NPV for the p No other firm would take on this project if McFann turns it down. How much should McFann reduce the NPV of this project if it discovered that this project would reduce one of its division's net after-tax cash flows by $400 for each year of the four-year project? O $1,365 O $1,241 O $1,055 O $931 McFann spent $2,250 on a marketing study to estimate the number of units that it can sell each year. What should McFann do to take this information into account? O Increase the amount of the initial investment by $2,250 O Increase the NPV of the project $2,250 O The company does not need to do anything with the cost of the marketing study because the marketing study is a sunk cost
