Question

We are evaluating a project that costs $1077686, has a seven-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 41111 units per year. Price per unit is $47, variable cost per unit is $21, and fixed costs are $821986 per year. The tax rate is 38 percent, and we require a 11 percent return on this project. Suppose the projections given for price, quantity, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within +/-8 percent. What is the NPV of the project in worst-case scenario?

Explanation / Answer

Thw worst case scenarios is:

No. of units reduce by 8% = 41111*(1-0.08) = 37,822.12 Units

The price reduces by 8% = 47*(1-0.08) = 43.24

The varibale cost increases by 8% = 21*(1+0.08) = 22.68

The fixed costs increase by 8% = 821986*(1+0.08) = 887,744.88

The NPV calculation is a given below
