Question

A project has the following estimated data: price = $99 per unit; variable costs = $42.57 per unit; fixed costs = $6,400; required return = 15 percent; initial investment = $6,000; life = seven years. Ignore the effect of taxes and use straight line depreciation to zero.

What is the accounting break-even quantity? What is the cash break-even quantity? What is the financial break-even quantity? NOTE: You first need to calculate the Operating Cash Flow that gives an NPV = 0. Don't forget that here we are ignoring taxes (so assume the marginal tax rate is zero). What is the degree of operating leverage at the financial break-even level of output?
