We project unit sales for a new household-use laser-guided cockroach search and destroy system as follows: Year Unit Sales 1 97,000 2 109,000 3 132,000 4 138,000 5 91,000 The new system will be priced to sell at $435 each. The cockroach eradicator project will require $2,200,000 in net working capital to start, and total net working capital will rise to 15% of the change in sales. The variable cost per unit is $305, and total fixed costs are $1,700,000 per year. The equipment necessary to begin production will cost a total of $18 million. This equipment is mostly industrial machinery and thus qualifies for CCA at a rate of 20%. In five years, this equipment will actually be worth about 20% of its cost. The relevant tax rate is 35%, and the required return is 15%. Based on these preliminary estimates, what is the NPV of the project? (Enter the answer in dollars.

C Company is conducting a project with an up-front cost at t = 0 of $1,100,000. The project's subsequent cash flows depends on whether a competitor's product is approved by FDA. There is a 60% chance that the competitive product will be rejected, in which case the company's expected cash flows will be $504,856 at the end of each of the next four years (t = 1 to 4). There is a 40% chance that the competitor's product will be approved, in which case the expected cash flows will be only $157,674 in t = 1 to 4. The company will know for sure one year from today whether the competitor's product has been approved. If the company waits a year, the project's up-front cost at t = 1 will remain at $1,100,000. The subsequent cash flows will also remain the same with the same probabilities as no waiting, but will be received only for three years (t = 2 to 4). All cash flows are discounted at the company's WACC of 10%. What will the NPV at t=0 for each of the two strategies be? Round your…
