We assume that the company you selected is considering a new project. The project has 8 years life. This project requires initial investment of $200 million to purchase equipment, and $10 million for shipping & installation fee. The fixed assets fall in the 7-year MACRS class. The salvage value of the fixed assets is 8.5% of the purchase price (including the shipping & installation fee). The number of units of the new product expected to be sold in the first year is 1,000,000 and the annual sales growth rate is 5%. The sales price is $120 per unit and the variable cost is $85 per unit in the first year, but they should be adjusted accordingly based on the estimated annualized inflation rate of 2.8%. The required net operating working capital (NOWC) is 10% of sales. We have a corporate tax rate of 21.7% and the WACC is 10.92%

1 Apply capital budgeting analysis techniques (NPV, IRR, MIRR, PI, Payback, Discounted Payback) to analyze the new project.
2 - Perform a sensitivity analysis for the effects of key variables (e.g., sales growth rate, cost of capital, unit costs, sales price)
