Consider a project to supply Detroit with 20,000 tons of machine screws annually for automobile production. You will need an initial $3,600,000 investment in threading equipment to get the project started; the project will last for four years. The accounting department estimates that annual fixed costs will be $850,000 and that variable costs should be $250 per ton; accounting will depreciate the initial fixed asset investment straight-line to zero over the four-year project life. It also estimates a salvage value of $250,000 after dismantling costs. The marketing department estimates that the automakers will let the contract at a selling price of $380 per ton. The engineering department estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $360,000. You require a return of 16 percent and face a marginal tax rate of 38 percent on this project.

b. Suppose you believe that the accounting department’s initial cost and salvage value projections are accurate only to within ±15 percent; the marketing department’s price estimate is accurate only to within ±10 percent; and the engineering department’s net working capital estimate is accurate only to within ±5 percent. What are your worst-case and best-case NPVs for this project? (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
