Solution:

NPV of the project with Old Interest rate of 10 % = $ 27.6484

NPV of the project with New Interest rate of 12 % = - $ 17.1921

The affect of the change in the project's forecasted NPV = $ 27.6484 - ( - $ 17.1921 )

= $ 44.8405

Please find the attached screenshot of the excel sheet containing the detailed calculation for the solution.
