Problem 9-23 Project Analysis [LO 2]

You are considering a new product launch. The project will cost$1,232,500, have a five-year life, and have no salvage value;depreciation is straight-line to zero. Sales are projected at 310units per year; price per unit will be $19,300, variable cost perunit will be $15,800, and fixed costs will be $329,000 per year.The required return on the project is 13 percent, and the relevanttax rate is 35 percent.

Based on your experience, you think the unit sales, variable cost,and fixed cost projections given here are probably accurate towithin ±10 percent.

What are the best-case and worst-case values for each of theprojections? (Do not round intermediate calculations andround your answers to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)

What are the best-case and worst-case OCFs and NPVs with theseprojections? (A negative answer should be indicated by aminus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round youranswers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

What are the OCF and NPV with fixed costs of $339,000 per year?(Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your OCFanswer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32, and round your NPVanswer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

What is the sensitivity of your base-case NPV to changes in fixedcosts? (Enter your answer as a positive value. Do not roundintermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimalplaces, e.g., 32.16.)
  
For every dollar FC increases, NPV falls by $ .
