Norister Inc. is considering introducing a new product line. This will require the purchase of new fixed assets of $2.4 million. The company estimates that demand for the new product will be approximately 15,000 units per year, with a price per unit of $100. The variable cost of producing each unit of the product is $35, and fixed costs per year will be $100,000. Demand for the product is expected to remain constant for six years, after which both demand and production will cease, and the associated fixed assets will have no salvage value. Depreciation on the fixed assets will be straight-line to zero. The company's marginal tax rate is 35%, and the required return on the project is 13%. Due to forecasting risk, the company estimates that price per unit, variable cost, fixed costs, and quantity sold could vary by 10%,15%,5%, and 10%, respectively. What is the project's net present value in the best-case scenario? Select one: a. $1,543,413 b. $1,353,424 c. $1,043,502 d. $368,020 e. $103,677
