Project Risk Analysis -Sensitivity Analysis. HMG is considering the manufacture of a new chemical compound that is used to make high-pressure plastic containers. An investment of $4 million in plant and equipment is required. The firm estimates that the investment will have a five year life, using straight-line depreciation towaard a zero salvage value. However, the investment has an anticipated salvage equal to 10% of its original cost. The number of pounds of the chemical compound that HMG expects to sell over the five year life of the project are as follows (in millions): 1, 1.5, 3, 3.5, and 2. To operate the new plant, HMG estimates that it will incur additional fixed cash operating expenses of $1 million per year and variable operating expenses equal to 45% of revenues. Furthermore, HMG estimates that it will need to invest 10% of the anticipated increase in revenues each year in net working capital. The price per pound for the new compound is expected to be $2 in Years 1 and 2, then $2.50 per pound in Years 3 through 5. HMG’s tax rate is 38%, and it requires a 15% rate of return on its new product investments.
