You are considering a new product launch. The project will cost $820,000, have a 4-year life, and have no salvage value; depreciation is straight-line to zero. Sales are projected at 210 units per year; price per unit will be $16,400, variable cost per unit will be $11,300, and fixed costs will be $555,000 per year. The required return on the project is 12 percent, and the relevant tax rate is 24 percent. Based on your experience, you think the unit sales, variable cost, and fixed cost projections given here are probably accurate to within +10 percent. a. What are the best-case and worst-case NPVS with these projections? Note: 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. b. What is the base-case NPV? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. c. What is the sensitivity of your base-case NPV to changes in fixed costs? Note: A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer

Use the NPV method to determine whether Root Products should invest in the following projects: • Project A: Costs $275,000 and offers eight annual net cash inflows of $53,000. Root Products requires an annual return of 12% on investments of this nature. Project B: Costs $380,000 and offers 9 annual net cash inflows of $74,000. Root Products demands an annual return of 10% on investments of this nature. E(Click the icon to view Present Value of $1 table.)

Round to two decimal places. (Enter any factor amounts to three decimal places, X.XXX. Use parentheses or a minus sign for a negative net present value.) Caclulate the NPV (net present value) of each project. Begin by calculating the NPV of Project A. Project A: Net Cash Annuity PV Factor Present Years Inflow (i=12%, n=8) Value 1-8 Present value of…
