Question: Setup and conduct a Monte Carlo analysis for the following assumptions.

Costs in year 0 = mean of $1000, follows a uniform distribution (ranging from $550 to $1450)
Benefits in years 1-5 = mean $300, follows a normal distribution with SD=$50
Discount rate = 4%

a. Conduct a baseline, fixed analysis (non-random/non-Monte Carlo) using the mean values. What is the NPV? Should we do the project?
b. Now conduct a Monte Carlo analysis using software* with 1000 draws (simulations). Report all information:
i. Average NPV from 1000 draws
ii. Minimum
iii. Maximum
iv. SD of your 1000 draws
v. "Low likely" range (your average minus 1.96*the SD)
vi. "High likely" range (your average plus 1.96*the SD)
vii. # of times out of 1000 that your NPV is negative
viii. Probability of a positive NPV
c. Include a histogram** of your results. What does the height of the bars represent? (Bonus if you can label the "bins" meaningfully along the X-axis.)
