Wettway Sailboat Corporation is considering whether to launch its new Margo-class sailboat. The selling price will be $48,000 per boat. The variable costs will be about half that, or $27,000 per boat, and fixed costs will be $535,000 per year. The total investment needed to undertake the project is $3,800,000. This amount will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the 6-year life of the equipment. The salvage value is zero, and there are no working capital consequences. Wettway has a required return of 18 percent on new projects. OCF-TCXD 1-TC FC+ Q== P-v

You are considering a proposal to produce and market a new sluffing machine. The most likely outcomes for the project are as follows: Expected sales: 115,000 units per year Unit price: $220 Variable cost: $132 Fixed cost: $4,890,000 The project will last for 10 years and requires an initial investment of $16.70 million, which will be depreciated straight-line over the project life to a final value of zero. The firm's tax rate is 30%, and the required rate of return is 12%. However, you recognize that some of these estimates are subject to error. In one scenario a sharp rise in the dollar could cause sales to fall 30% below expectations for the life of the project and, if that happens, the unit price would probably be only $210. The good news is that fixed costs could be as low as $3,260,000, and variable costs would decline in proportion to sales. a. What is project NPV if all variables are as expected?
