Question

We are evaluating a project that costs $972,000, has a four-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 88,800 units per year. Price per unit is $35.15, variable cost per unit is $21.40, and fixed costs are $768,000 per year. The tax rate is 35 percent, and we require a return of 13 percent on this project.

Suppose the projections given for price, quantity, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within ±10 percent. Calculate the best-case and worst-case NPV figures. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)
