Question

Modern Artifacts can produce keepsakes that will be sold for $70 each. Nondepreciation fixed costs are $2,300 per year and variable costs are $42 per unit.

If the project requires an initial investment of $6,000 and is expected to last for 5 years and the firm pays no taxes. The initial investment will be depreciated straight-line over 5 years to a final value of zero, and the discount rate is 10%. What are the accounting and NPV break-even levels of sales? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)

What will be the accounting and NPV break-even levels of sales, if the firm's tax rate is 40%? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)

Explanation / Answer

If the project requires an initial investment of $6,000 and is expected to last for 5 years and the firm pays no taxes. The initial investment will be depreciated straight-line over 5 years to a final value of zero, and the discount rate is 10%. What are the accounting and NPV break-even levels of sales? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)

Annual Depreciation = 6000/5 = $ 1200

Accounting break-even levels of sales = (Nondepreciation fixed costs + Depreciation)/(sales Price - variable costs)

Accounting break-even levels of sales = (2300+1200)/(70-42)

Accounting break-even levels of sales = 125 Units

NPV break-even levels of sales

Required Annual Cash Flow = Initial Investment/PVA(10%,5)

Required Annual Cash Flow = 6000/3.790787

Required Annual Cash Flow = $ 1582.78

NPV break-even levels of sales = ((Required Annual Cash Flow + Annual Depreciation*tax rate)/ (1-tax rate ) + Fixed Cost)/(sale Price - Variable cost)

NPV break-even levels of sales = ((1582.78+1200*0%)/(1-0%) + 2300)/(70-42)

NPV break-even levels of sales = 139 Units

What will be the accounting and NPV break-even levels of sales, if the firm's tax rate is 40%? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)

Annual Depreciation = 6000/5 = $ 1200

Accounting break-even levels of sales = (Nondepreciation fixed costs + Depreciation)/(sales Price - variable costs)

Accounting break-even levels of sales = (2300+1200)/(70-42)

Accounting break-even levels of sales = 125 Units

NPV break-even levels of sales

Required Annual Cash Flow = Initial Investment/PVA(10%,5)

Required Annual Cash Flow = 6000/3.790787

Required Annual Cash Flow = $ 1582.78

NPV break-even levels of sales = ((Required Annual Cash Flow + Annual Depreciation*tax rate)/ (1-tax rate ) + Fixed Cost)/(sale Price - Variable cost)

NPV break-even levels of sales = ((1582.78+1200*40%)/(1-40%) + 2300)/(70-42)

NPV break-even levels of sales = 205 Units
