Peabody Corporation has the base-case estimates for its new small engine assembly project provided below. Suppose the company believes that all of its estimates (except the product life, depreciation method, tax rate, and MARR) are accurate only to within + 20%. Click the icon to view the base-case estimates for the investment project. i More Info Click the icon to view the MACRS depreciation schedules. Click the icon to view the interest factors for discrete compounding when i = 14% per year. (a) What is the NPW of the project based on its base-case scenario? The NPW of the project based on its base-case scenario is $ thousand. (Round to one decimal place.) Price per unit = $600 Variable costs = $100 per unit Fixed costs = $3.1 million Demand = 17,000 units per year Capital investment = $8 million at year 0 Product life = 8 years Salvage value = $580,000 Depreciation method = seven-year MACRS Tax rate = 35% MARR = 14% (b) What is the NPW of the project based on its best-case scenario? The NPW of the project based on its best-case scenario is $ thousand. (Round to one decimal place.) (c) What is the NPW of the project based on its worst-case scenario? The NPW of the project based on its worst-case scenario is $ thousand. (Round to one decimal place.) Print Done (d) What conclusion would you make about the project after seeing the scenario analyses? Select the correct choices from the drop-down menu below. The base case produces a PW, the worst case produces a PW, and the best case produces a PW. The highest PW is produced by the scenario.
