Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16)

Explanation / Answer

The marketing study and R&D costs are sunk cost and not considered in NPV analysis.

The above is the base case NPV.

Best-case NPV is when price and unit sales are higher while cost are lower.

Best-case NPV = $42,481,283.37

Worst-case NPV is when price and unit sales are lower while cost are higher.

Worst-case NPV = -$14,845,477.68
