Reference no: EM131796262

Question: We are evaluating a project that costs $800,000, 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 60.000 units per year. Price per unit is $40, variable cost per unit is $20, and fixed costs are $800,000 per year. The tax rate is 35 percent, and we require a return of 10 percent on this project.

b-ii. What is the sensitivity of NPV to changes in the sales figure? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 3 decimal places (e.g., 32.161).)

b-iii. Calculate the change in NPV if sales were to drop by 500 units. (Enter your answer as a positive number. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

c. What is the sensitivity of OCF to changes in the variable cost figure? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to nearest whole number (e.g., 32).)
