| You are considering a new product launch. The project will cost $982,000, have a four-year life, and have no salvage value; depreciation is straight-line to zero. Sales are projected at 300 units per year; price per unit will be $19,200, variable cost per unit will be $15,700, and fixed costs will be $328,000 per year. The required return on the project is 12 percent, and the relevant tax rate is 40 percent. |
| Requirement 1: |
| Based on your experience, you think the unit sales, variable cost, and fixed cost projections given here are probably accurate to within 10 percent. |
| (a) | What are the best and worst case NPVs with these projections? (Do not round intermediate calculations. A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) |
| NPVbest | $ |
| NPVworst | $ |
| (b) | What is the base-case NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) |
| NPVbase | $ |
| Requirement 2: |
| What is the sensitivity of the NPV to changes in fixed costs? (Input the amount as a positive value. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) |
| For every dollar FC increase, NPV falls by $ |
