- A company is analyzing a proposed 3-year project using standard sensitivity analysis. The company expects to sell 15,000 units, \pm 5 percent. The expected variable cost per unit is $8 and the expected fixed costs are $ 40,000. The fixed and variable cost estimates are considered accurate within a \pm 7 percent range. The sales price is estimated at $15 a unit, \pm 6 percent.
