I always rate! Show Excel work, please

You have been asked to perform scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis, and break even analysis for producing a new golf ball. These new golf balls will sell from $2 a piece. In the best case scenario you think you will sell 750,000 balls, in the most likely case you will sell 500,000 balls and in the worst case you will sell 300,00 balls. Your variable cost is 35% and you have $300,000 in fixed costs. Your depreciation will be $100,000 and you have a 25% tax rate.

  1. How sensitive are you to your variable cost? Create a data table ranging from 30% to 45% variable cost rate for the most likely case to show how changes in variable costs effect your net income.

PLEASE, I need it within 30 minutes.

A clothing retailer plans to automate its payroll processing by using a scanner that identifies which clerks sold which item. Management is excited about this system because it can connect directly to the company's existing computer system. The new automated system will save $14,200 a year in labor. The new system will cost $40,000 to build and test prior to operation. Operating cost will be $2,600 per year. The system has 6 years useful life. The expected net salvage value of the system is estimated at $2,500. If the company's interest rate is 10%, in what year does the DISCOUNTED payback occur for this project? Assume year-end cash flows, and enter your answer as an integer."
