You are considering a new product launch. The project will cost $2,200,000, have a four-year life, and have no salvage value; depreciation is straight-line to zero. Sales are projected at 270 units per year; price per unit will be $19,500, variable cost per unit will be $13,100, and fixed costs will be $660,000 per year. The required return on the project is 11 percent, and the relevant tax rate is 25 percent. a) Based on your experience, you think the unit sales, variable cost, and fixed cost projections given here are probably accurate to within ±10 percent. What are the upper and lower bounds for these projections? What is the base-cast, best-case, and worst-case NPV's? (Round to two decimal places)
b) Evaluate the sensitivity of your base-case NPV to changes in fixed costs. (2 decimal places)
c) What is the cash break-even level of output for this project (ignoring taxes)? (2 decimal places)
d1) What is the accounting break-even level of output for this project? (2 decimal places)
d2) What is the degree of operating leverage at the accounting break-even point? (3 decimal places)

Imagine us is a startup that offers high definition 3d prenatal ultrasounds for high-end customers. the service process includes four activities that are conducted in the sequence described below. (the time required for each activity is shown in parentheses): activity 1: welcome a patient and explain the procedure. (20 minutes)activity 2: prep the patient (e.g., show them to the room, apply ultrasound gel). (17 minutes) (*your id number represents the amount of time needed to complete this task)activity 3: take images. (5 minutes)activity 4: discuss diagnostic with patient. (20 minutes)at each location there are employees (servers) s1, s2, and s3. the assignment of tasks to servers is the following: s1 does activities 1 and 2.s2 does activity 3.s3 does activity 4.a. what is the capacity of this process (in customers per hour)? b. suppose 3 patients arrive every hour on average. ignoring any “start of day” or “end of day” effects, what are the utilizations of all three servers (%)? c. suppose each activity can be done by any server and any server can do any set of activities. however, each activity is done by only one server. for example, a possible assignment includes: s1 does activity 1, s2 does activity 2, and s3 does activities 3 and 4. of course, the original assignment of servers to activities is also feasible. what is the maximum capacity of the process (in customers per hour)? d. now consider the capacity measures in (c) and (a), what is the percentage change? why can you improve capacity without using additional resources? (there is no free lunch, right? )note: for all hw assignments, show your process of getting the results. only providing the final answers is not acceptable and will get 0%. if necessary, use a separate sheet of paper to show your work.
