We are evaluating a project that costs $841,992, has an eight-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 60,261 units per year. Price per unit is $44, variable cost per unit is $19, and fixed costs are $420,392 per year. The tax rate is 35%, and we require a return of 20% on this project.
Calculate the Accounting Break-Even Point. (Round answer to 0 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations)
Annual Depreciation = (Cost Of The Asset- Salvage Value)/ Life Of The Asset | |||||||
= $841992-0/8 years | |||||||
= $105249 per year | |||||||
Total fixed cost = $105249+420392 | |||||||
=$525641 | |||||||
Contribution Margin Per Unit = Sales price - variable cost per unit | |||||||
= $44-19 | |||||||
= $25 per unit | |||||||
Break-even Point In Unit = Fixed Cost/ Contribution Margin Per Unit | |||||||
= $525641/25 | |||||||
=21026 units | |||||||
