A project currently generates sales of $12 million, variable costs equal 40% of sales, and fixed costs are $2.4 million. The firm's tax rate is 40%. Assume all sales and expenses are cash items. a. What are the effects on cash flow, if sales increase from $12 million to $13.2 million? (Input the amount as positive value. Enter your answer in dollars not in millions.) Cash flow by i b. What are the effects on cash flow, if variable costs increase to 50% of sales? (Input the amount as positive value. Enter your answer in dollars not in millions.) Cash flow by! The most likely outcomes for a particular project are estimated as follows: Unit price: Variable cost: Fixed cost: Expected sales: $ 60 $ 40 $420,000 47,000 units per year However, you recognize that some of these estimates are subject to error. Suppose that each variable may turn out to be either 10% higher or 10% lower than the initial estimate. The project will last for 10 years and requires an initial investment of $2.1 million, which will be depreciated straight-line over the project life to a final value of zero. The firm's tax rate is 21% and the required rate of return is 12%. (For all the requirements, a negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in dollars not in millions. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.) a. What is project NPV in the best-case scenario, that is, assuming all variables take on the best possible value? b. What is project NPV in the worst-case scenario? a. NPV b. NPV Modern Artifacts can produce keepsakes that will be sold for $100 each. Nondepreciation fixed costs are $1,300 per year, and variable costs are $70 per unit. The initial investment of $4,000 will be depreciated straight-line over its useful life of 5 years to a final value of zero, and the discount rate is 12%.
