Use Excel to evaluate the following capital budgeting project for the best, base, and worst cases. You will calculate the following values for each case:

Net present value

Internal rate of return

Profitability Index

Payback

Discounted payback

Average Accounting Return

The cash flows change every year because of the assumptions below.

Note: You must do your calculations in Excel. Do not do them with a calculator and type them in. Example: For the base case, unit sales is 100,000 in year 1. The assumptions state that unit sales will decline in the second year by 1,000. Assuming that the year 1 unit sales is in cell B46, year 2 unit sales would be in C46 and the formula in that cell would be

=B46-1,000

Here is information about the project.

Initial Fixed Asset investment= $9,000,000

Net Working Cap Requirement= $800,000

Time frame = 5 years

Marginal tax rate= 35%

5-year straight line depreciation with assumption of zero salvage value

For negative net pre-tax incomes, you must include negative taxes, i.e., if the project loses money, it will reduce the companys taxable income, thus lowering its tax bill.

EACH CASE MUST BE ON A SEPARATE PAGE AND FORMATTED TO BE ON ONE PAGE, OR MINUS 20 POINTS.

	Base	Worst	Best
Unit Sales year 1=	100000	88000	112000
Change in unit sales per year=	-1000	-2000	0
Price/unit year 1=	200	180	220
Change in price per year=	-5	-10	0
Variable Cost/unit year 1=	150	154	146
Change in variable cost per year=	1	2	0
Fixed costs year 1=	30000	30000	30000
Change in fixed costs per year=	0	500	-500
Actual salvage value=	100000	80000	120000
