Consider a project to supply Detroit with 28,000 tons of machine screws annually for automobile production. You will need an initial $6,100,000 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 $1,475,000 and that variable costs should be $280 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 $850,000 after dismantling costs. The marketing department estimates that the automakers will let the contract at a selling price of $398 per ton. The engineering department estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $590,000. You require a return of 12 percent and face a tax rate of 23 percent on this project.

a-1.	What is the estimated OCF for this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
a-2.	What is the estimated NPV for this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
b.	Suppose you believe that the accounting departments initial cost and salvage value projections are accurate only to within 15 percent; the marketing departments price estimate is accurate only to within 5 percent; and the engineering departments net working capital estimate is accurate only to within 10 percent. What are your worst-case and best-case NPVs for this project? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) A-1: OCF = A-2: NPV = B: Worst Case NPV = Best Case NPV =
