In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering​ cholesterol,

45

subjects were treated with garlic in a processed tablet form. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes

​(beforeminus−​after)

in their levels of LDL cholesterol​ (in mg/dL) have a mean of

5.2

and a standard deviation of

15.8.

Construct a 95​%

confidence interval estimate of the mean net change in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment. What does the confidence interval suggest about the effectiveness of garlic in reducing LDL​ cholesterol?

We are evaluating a project that costs $837,367, has an eight-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 61,080 units per year. Price per unit is $39, variable cost per unit is $18, and fixed costs are $419,261 per year. The tax rate is 35%, and we require a return of 21% on this project. In dollar terms, what is the sensitivity of NPV to changes in the units sold projection?
