Reference no: EM13211601

The Flying Toaster Appliance Company is considering a new project. The equipment will cost $30,000, have a six-year life, and be depreciated to a zero salvage value. The tax rate is 40% and the appropriate discount rate is 12%. Fixed costs for additional salaries, utilities, and miscellaneous expenses are expected to be $20,000 per year. Variable costs for each unit are expected to be $40, and the unit price is $60. The expected sales quantity is 1,600 units per year.

(a) Compute the NPV using the information above.

(b) Compute the financial break-even quantity, i.e., the minimum number of units required to justify investment.
