Worst-case NPV Best-case NPV Consider a project to supply Detroit with 26,000 tons of machine screws annually for automobile production. You will need an initial $5,500,000 investment in threading equipment to get the project started; the project will last for 6 years. The accounting department estimates that annual fixed costs will be $1,325,000 and that variable costs should be $250 per ton; accounting will depreciate the initial fixed asset investment straight-line to zero over the 6-year project life. It also estimates a salvage value of $700,000 after dismantling costs. The marketing department estimates that the automakers will let the contract at a selling price of $362 per ton. The engineering department estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $530,000. You require a return of 11 percent and face a tax rate of 22 percent on this project. a-1.
