Your team is working for a famous drone producer, which is considering a new investment project. In the new project, the company will launch a new model of safer and faster delivery drones that can boost the sales by at least 35%. The new project is expected to generate an annual sale of 4,500 drones for an average price of $3,250 per unit for 5 years. The new investment project requires your company to buy a new assembly line with initial cost of $2,750,000, a residual value of $350,000 at the end of the project. The company will need to add $450 000 in working capital which is expected to be fully retrieved at the end of the project. Other information is available below: Depreciation method: straight line Variable cost per unit: $875 Cash fixed costs per year: $250,000 Corporate marginal tax: 30% Discount rate: 10% Your Finance Department conducted some economics forecast and estimated that in the coming years, lifted Covid-19 pandemic restrictions, more expensive labour costs and recovering of in person delivery services can result in negative changes of the project value drivers.

You need to provide your results in (a) relevant tables: Price per unit decreases by 15% Sales decrease by 15% Variable cost per unit increases by 15% Cash fixed cost per year increased by 15% Based on the sensitivity analysis outcome, draw relevant conclusion about project NPV's sensitivity.
