Please dont skip question 3 that is more important with theory

Develop a proposal for the case if UCW wants to invest in a new Program. The project under consideration costs $7,000,000, has a 5 (five) years life, and has no salvage value. Depreciation is straight-line to zero. The required return is 17%. Sales are projected at 1,500 students/year. Tuition Fees per student will be $5,500. Variable cost per student will be $2,500, and fixed costs are $1,500,000 per year. Tax rate is 30%. Ignore CCA.

Your proposal should contemplate the following questions and problems:

Suppose you think that the number of students is accurate to within 15%. Calculate the upper and lower bounds for these projections. (BEST-case and WORST-case scenarios).

1. Calculate the Base-case NPV and IRR (1,500 students/year). Should UCW accept the project based on the base-case scenario?

2. Calculate the BEST-case NPV and the WORST-case NPV and IRR

If you look at best and worst-case scenarios, what else should be considered? Will you change your recommendation and why?

3. Calculate other project evaluation criteria that you learned from the textbook and lessons:

• - Payback period

• - discounted payback period

• - breakeven point

• - profitability index,

• - average accounting return

  and explain what it means in terms of this project, how it will influence your decision.
