This is the premium added as a compensation for the risk that an investor will not get paid in full.      
This is the premium added to the equilibrium interest rate on a security that cannot be bought or sold quickly enough to prevent or minimize loss.      
As interest rates rise, bond prices fall, and as interest rates fall, bond prices rise. Because interest rate changes are uncertain, this premium is added as a compensation for this uncertainty.      
This is the rate for a short-term riskless security when inflation is expected to be zero.      
This is the rate for a riskless security that is exposed to changes in inflation.      
Over the past several years, Germany, Japan, and Switzerland have had lower interest rates than the United States due to lower values of this premium.

We are evaluating a project that costs $756,000, has a six-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 67,000 units per year. Price per unit is $60, variable cost per unit is $25, and fixed costs are $693,000 per year. The tax rate is 35 percent, and we require a return of 20 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? ΔNPV/ΔQ

b-3 Calculate the change in NPV if sales were to drop by 500 units.

c. What is the sensitivity of OCF to changes in the variable cost figure? ΔOCF/ΔVC $

Treat each scenario separately (i.e. draw a separate fully-labeled graph for each in order to get full credit). Assume that the market is initially in equilibrium. Important: Make sure that your graphs clearly show changes in the equilibrium federal funds rate, changes in the equilibrium level of reserves, and any shifts in the demand or supply curves. Explain in one sentence what your graph is showing.
