We are evaluating a project that costs $1,120,000, has a ten-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 64,000 units per year. Price per unit is $50, variable cost per unit is $25, and fixed costs are $620,000 per year. The tax rate is 35 percent, and we require a return of 12 percent on this project.
A) Calculate the accounting break-even point?
B) What is the degree of operating leverage at the accounting break-even point?
C) Calculate the base-case cash flow and NPV. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your cash flow answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32. Round your NPV answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
D) What is the sensitivity of NPV to changes in the sales figure? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
E) What is the sensitivity of OCF to changes in the variable cost figure? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
