Family Security is considering introducing tiny GPS trackers that can be inserted in the sole of a child's shoe, which would then allow for the tracking of that child if he or she was ever lost or abducted. The estimates, that might be off by 10 percent (either above or below), associated with this new product are shown here:

Unit price:	$127127
Variable costs:	$7979
Fixed costs:	$253 comma 000253,000 per year
Expected sales:	10 comma 20010,200 per year

Since this is a new product line, you are not confident in your estimates and would like to know how well you will fare if your estimates on the items listed above are 10 percent higher or 10percent lower than expected. Assume that this new product line will require an initial outlay of $1.17 million, with no working capital investment, and will last for 10 years, being depreciated down to zero using straight-line depreciation. In addition, the firm's required rate of return or cost of capital is 10.3 percent, and the firm's marginal tax rate is 34 percent. Calculate the project's NPV under the "best-case scenario" (that is, use the high estimatesunit price 10 percent above expected, variable costs 10 percent less than expected, fixed costs 10 percent less than expected, and expected sales 10 percent more than expected). Calculate the project's NPV under the "worst-case scenario."

The NPV for the best-case scenario will be $

The NPV for the worst-case scenario will be $
