Sales areprojected at 4108 units per year. Price per unit is $54, variablecost per unit is $24, and fixed costs are $83887 per year. The taxrate is 31 percent, and we require a 9 percent return on thisproject. Suppose the projections given for price, quantity,variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within +/-11percent. What is the NPV of the project in worst-case scenario?(Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round yourfinal answer to the nearest dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign andcommas in your response. For example, $123,456.78 should be enteredas 123457.)
