We are evaluating a project that costs $848,000, has an eight-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 48,000 units per year. Price per unit is $40, variable cost per unit is $20, and fixed costs are $625,000 per year. The tax rate is 35 percent, and we require a return of 20 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.
