Q2. Suppose you are considering the following project with most-likely values: • Project life = 6 years Required investment= $1,000,000 • Salvage value = 80,000 • Depreciation method = 5-year MACRS • Sales volume = 65,000 units annually • Price per unit = $60 • Variable cost per unit - $40 • Fixed annual cost = $532,000 Tax rate = 35% • MARR = 20% (a) Compute the NPW for the most likely case showing all computations. (b) If you were told that the unit price, anmual sales volume, unit variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within +15%, what would be the NPW in the best-case and in the worst case?

A new project has an initial cost of $250,000. The equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis to a zero book value over the five-year life of the project. The projected net income each year is $13,250, $18,000, $20,240, $15,150, and $11,900, respectively. What is the average accounting return? Multiple Choice 11.52% 8.95% 13.46% 12.57% 5.33%
Consider a project with a life of 3 years with the following information: initial fixed asset investment = salvage value; price = $35; variable costs $13; fixed costs = $112,000; quantity sold = 53,760 units; tax rate = 23 percent.

You are considering an investment project with the following financial information: Required investment = $500,000 Project life = 5 years Salvage value = $50,000 Depreciation method = straight-line deprecation (no half-year convention) Unit price = $40 Unit variable cost = $18 Fixed annual cost = $230,000 Annual sales volume = 100,000 units Tax rate = 35% MARR = 15% The company is concerned about the price estimate they have used to calculate the rate of return. Using sensitivity analysis, how much can the price vary to still break-even? The company believes that their estimates for unit price, demand, variable cost, fixed cost, and salvage value are accurate to +/- 10%. Using scenario analysis compare the base case to the best-case and worst-case scenarios.
Consider a project with the following information: Initial fixed asset investment = $550,000; straight-line depreciation to zero over the 4-year life; zero salvage value; price $54; variable costs = $35; fixed costs = $228,000, quantity sold = 116,000 units; tax rate = 23 percent. How sensitive is OCF to changes in quantity sold? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) AOCFIAQ 9.24

Multiple Choice ○ Project Y. ○ Project X. Both X and Y are acceptable projects. Neither X nor Y is an acceptable project. Project Y because it has a lower Initial Investment.
Suppose you are considering an investment project that requires $800.000, has a six-year life, and has a salvage value of $100,000. Sales volume is projected 10 be 65,000 units per year. Price per un it is $63, variable cos! per unit is $42, and fixed costs are $532,000 per year. The depreciation method is a five-year MACRS. 1l1e tax rate is 35% and you ex pect a 20% relurn on this investment. a-Determine the break-even sales volume. b-Calculate the cash flows of the base case over six years and its NPW. c-lf the sales price per unit increases to $400, what is the required break-even volume? d-Suppose the projections given for price, sales volume, variable costs, and fixed costs are all accurate to within ± 15%. What would be the NPW figures of the best-case and worst-case scenarios?
