Molecugen has developed a new kind of cardiac diagnostic unit .Owing to the highly competitive nature of the market . the sales department forecasts demand of
5000 units in the first year and a decrease in demand 10% a year after that .After 5 years the project will be discontinued with no salvage value. The

administrative expenses of 15000 a year .The initial investment in land is 10000 and other no depreciable setup costs are 10000

B ) if the marketing department had forecast a decline of 15% a year in demand would the project be acceptable
C) if the market department had forecast a decline in sales price of 10% a year along with the 15% annual decline in demand predicted in b would the project
