The most likely outcomes for a particular project are estimated as follows:
Unit price: | $ | 80 | |
Variable cost: | $ | 60 | |
Fixed cost: | $ | 440,000 | |
Expected sales: | 40,000 | units per year | |
However, you recognize that some of these estimates are subject to error. Suppose that each variable may turn out to be either 5% higher or 5% lower than the initial estimate. The project will last for 10 years and requires an initial investment of $1.1 million, which will be depreciated straight-line over the project life to a final value of zero. The firm’s tax rate is 40% and the required rate of return is 14%.
b. What is project NPV in the worst-case scenario? (A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in dollars not in millions. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
