We are evaluating a project that costs $714,400, 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 90,000 units per year. Price per unit is $51, variable cost per unit is $36, and fixed costs are $745,000 per year. The tax rate is 25 percent, and we require a return of 11 percent on this project. a-1. Calculate the accounting break-even point. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e. g., 32.) a-2. What is the degree of operating leverage at the accounting break-even point

a-1. 55,620 units

a-2. 9.34

Explanation:

a-1. The accounting break-even point is calculated by;

= (Fixed costs + Depreciation) / (Sales - Variable costs)

Depreciation = 714,400/8 = $89,300

Accounting breakeven = (745,000 + 89,300) / (51 - 36)

= 55,620 units

a-2. Degree of Operating Leverage

= 1 + (Fixed Costs/ Operating Cashflow)

= 1 + (745,000 / 89,300)

= 9.34

At this point, the only given Operating cashflow figure is Depreciation.

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
