We are examining a new project. We expect to sell 6,500 units per year at $43 net cash flow apiece for the next 10 years. In other words, the annual operating cash flow is projected to be $43 × 6,500 = $279,500. The relevant discount rate is 16 percent and the initial investment required is $980,000.     a. What is the base-case NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. After the first year, the project can be dismantled and sold for $810,000. If expected sales are revised based on the first year’s performance, below what level of expected sales would it make sense to abandon the project?
