Delia Landscaping is considering a new 4-year project. The equipment necessary would cost $173,000 and be depreciated on a 3-year MACRS to a book value of zero. The MACRS percentages each year are 33.33 percent, 44.45 percent, 14.81 percent, and 7.41 percent, respectively. At the end of the project, the equipment can be sold for 10 percent of its initial cost. The project will have annual sales of $110,000, variable costs of $27,700, and fixed costs of $12,300. The project will also require net working capital of $2,900 that will be returned at the end of the project. The company has a tax rate of 40 percent and the project's required return is 12 percent.   

1. What is the NPV of this project? What is the project's IRR? (5 points/question)  

2. You feel that both sales and fixed costs are accurate to +/-5 percent. What are the NPVs of this project for both the best and the worst-case scenarios? (15 Points)

A nutritionist at the Medical Center has been asked to prepare a special diet for

certain patients. She has decided that the meals should be prepared from Foods A and B and that they

should contain a minimum of 400 mg of calcium, 10 mg of iron, and 40 mg of vitamin C. Each ounce of Food

A contains 30 mg of calcium, 1 mg of iron, 2 mg of vitamin C, and 3 mg of cholesterol. Each ounce of Food

B contains 25 mg of calcium, 0.5 mg of iron, 5 mg of vitamin C, and 5 mg of cholesterol.

(1) How many ounces of each type of food should be used in a meal so that the cholesterol content is

minimized and the minimum requirements of calcium, iron, and vitamin C are met? What is the

minimum cholesterol content?

(2) By how much can the cholesterol content of Food A vary before the optimal solution changes?

(3) By how much can the cholesterol content of Food B vary before the optimal solution changes?
