4. Middleton Classics would like to test the sensitivity of the estimates used for the input data to compute the net present value and internal rate of return on this investment. Ignore the payback period and the accounting rate of return. Consider a, b, and c below independently by holding everything else constant:
a. What is the minimum cost of the investment (to the nearest $100) needed for the owner to accept it?
b. Reset cost to $500,000. What is the minimum salvage value (to the nearest $100) needed for the owner to accept it?
c.Reset salvage value to $25,000. What is the minimum annual cash flow (to the nearest $100) needed for the owner to accept it?
How sensitive to changes in the input data is the decision to accept or reject this investment? Do you have to change the estimates a lot or just a little to make the investment acceptable? Comment on the results of each of these analyses.
