Question

We are evaluating a project that costs $744,000, 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 45,000 units per year. Price per unit is $60, variable cost per unit is $20, and fixed costs are $740,000 per year. The tax rate is 35 percent, and we require a 18 percent return on this project. a-1 Calculate the accounting break-even point.

Answer 1

Answer: $15,400

Explanation:

BEP = Fixed cost - depreciation/ sales - variable cost

BEP = 740,000 - (744,000/6)/($60 -$20)

BEP= $740,000-$124,000/$40

BEP = $616,000/$40

BEP =$15,400
