Project Net Present Value and Volatility using Simulation. Year 1 sales is uniformly distributed betw
$2000 and $4000. Thereafter, sales are forecasted to grow exponentially at a rate that is normally distri
with a mean 4 percent and a standard deviation of 2 percent a year. Incremental variable costs are expe
to be 50 percent of incremental revenues. Incremental working capital required in each year is expected
$900 in year 0. Thereafter, net working capital is expected to be 30 percent of incremental revenues in t
following year. Incremental fixed cash cost are expected to be $60 in year 1 and growing by $5 each ye
thereafter. This three-year project requires an immediate investment of $600 in plant and equipment. Pl
and equipment are to be depreciated over 6 years on a straight-line basis to zero value. At the end of
project the equipment can be sold for $100. The tax rate is 40% and the required return is 10%.
Calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) of the project at a wacc of 10%.
Calculate the project volatility.
