The project will require $23,000 in extra inventory for spare parts and accessories. Should this project be implemented if Thornley's requires a 9% rate of return? Why or why not? O No; The NPV is -$2,646.00. O Yes; The NPV is $27,354.00. O Yes; The NPV is $32,593.78. O Yes; The NPV is $43,106.54.

We are evaluating a project that costs $630,700, has a seven-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 90,000 units per year. Price per unit is $46, variable cost per unit is $33, and fixed costs are $720,000 per year. The tax rate is 25 percent, and we require a return of 10 percent on this project. Suppose the projections given for price, quantity, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within ±15 percent. Calculate the best-case and worst-case NPV figures. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Best-case Worst-case

The Bruin's Den Outdoor Gear is considering a new 7-year project to produce a new tent line. The equipment necessary would cost $1.83 million and be depreciated using straight-line depreciation to a book value of zero. At the end of the project, the equipment can be sold for 10 percent of its initial cost. The company believes that it can sell 29,000 tents per year at a price of $75 and variable costs of $34 per tent. The fixed costs will be $505,000 per year. The project will require an initial investment in net working capital of $237,000 that will be recovered at the end of the project. The required rate of return is 11.8 percent and the tax rate is 21 percent. What is the NPV?
