Amadeus Corporation is considering the issue of a new product to be added to its product mix. They hired you, a recent business graduate from MacEwan, for conducting the analysis. The production line would be set up in an unused space at the company$$s main plant. The plant space could be leased out to another firm at $$25,000$ per year. They have to buy new machinery. The approximate cost of the machine would be $$200,000,$ with another $$10,000$ in shipping and handling charges. It would also cost an additional $$30,000$ to install the equipment. The machinery has an economic life of $5$ years and would be in Class $8$ with a CCA rate of $20\%.$ The machinery is expected to have a salvage value of $$25,000$ after $5$ years of use.

The new product line would generate incremental sales of $1,450$ units per year for $5$ years and they are expected to grow $10\%$ per year. The cost per unit is estimated in $$75$ per unit in the first year. Each unit can be sold for $$200$ in the first year. The sales price and cost are both expected to increase by $2\mathrm{.}5\%$ per year due to inflation. The fixed costs are estimated to be $$100,000$ at the end of $1$st year and would increase with inflation. To handle the new product line, the firm$$s net operating working capital would be an amount equal to $15\%$ of sales revenues. The firm tax rate is $35\%,$ and its overall weighted average cost of capital $($WACC$)$ is $8\%.$ The project is considered by the financial department to be as risky as the company. $3.$ Sensitivity analysis

Consider the following assumptions for the company and for each case individually calculate the NPV and the IRR and include these analyses in your final recommendation.

Perform sensitivity analysis on the unit sales, variable costs and the cost of capital for the project. Assume that each of these variables can vary from its base$-$case value by $\backslash$pm $20\%.$ Summarize the results in a table $($NPVs and IRRs for each sensitivity analysis$).$
