Blooper’s analysts have come up with the following revised estimates for its magnoosium mine:

Range

Conduct a sensitivity analysis for each variable and range and compute the NPV for each. Use Spreadsheet 10.1 and accompanying data as a starting point for the analysis. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answers in thousands rounded to the nearest whole dollar.)

Initial Investments Pessimistic Expected Optimistic

Revenues

Variable Costs

Fixed Costs

Working Capital

Spreadsheet:

Range

Pessimistic Optimistic Initial investment + 25 % – 20 % Revenues – 25 % + 15 % Variable costs + 20 % – 25 % Fixed cost + 25 % – 45 % Working capital + 25 % – 45 %
