- 3. Abandonment options Shan Co. is considering a four-year project that will require an initial investment of $5,000. The base-case cash flows for this project are projected to be $15,000 per year. The best-case cash flows are projected to be $22,000 per year, and the worst-case cash flows are projected to be –$1,500 per year. The company’s analysts have estimated that there is a 50% probability that the project will generate the base-case cash flows. The analysts also think that there is a 25% probability of the project generating the best-case cash flows and a 25% probability of the project generating the worst-case cash flows.

- Question 1 The M&N company is considering a new manufacturing facility plan for its new venture. The plan suggests an initial investment of 5600.000 and is expected to have a salvage value of $50,000 after the end of its 6-year life period. The selling price of the product is decided fo be $70 per unit, against an estimated variable cost of $40 per unit. How many units should the company sell each year for breakaven at an interest rate of 8%?arrow_forward1 Downside scenarios Consider a proposal to produce and market a new tennis racquet. The most likely outcome scenario for the project incl. Expected sales of 30,000 units per year, Unit price of $200, Variable cost per racquet of $120, Fixed cost of $1,200,000. The project will last for 10 years and requires an initial investment of $4 million, which will be depreciated straight-line over the project life to a fnal value of zero. The firm´s tax rate is 30%, and the required rate of return is 12%. 1. What is the project NPV? However, you recognize that some of these estimates are subject to error. Sales could fall 20% below expectations for the life of the project and, if that happens, the unit price would probably be only $150. The good news is that Öxed costs could be as low as $800,000, and total Variable costs1 would decline in proportion to sales. 2. What is NPV in the worst-case scenario?3. How else could you consider the downside scenario in your NPV calculation? (Answer…arrow_forwardA3 8aii You are considering a new product launch.
