We are evaluating a project that costs $500,000, 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 50,000 units per year. Price per unit is $40, variable cost per unit is $25, and fixed costs are $600,000 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-1 Calculate the base-case cash flow and NPV.
b-2 What is the sensitivity of NPV to changes in the sales figure?
c. What is the sensitivity of OCF to changes in the variable cost figure?
