We are evaluating a project that costs $644,000, has an eight-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is s

traight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 70,000 units per year. Price per unit is $37, variable cost per unit is $21, and fixed costs are $725,000 per year. The tax rate is 35 percent, and we require a 15 percent return on this project.
Required:
a. Calculate the accounting break-even point.
b. Calculate the base-case cash flow and NPV. What is the sensitivity of NPV to changes in the sales figure? Explain what your answer tells you about a 500-unit decrease in projected sales.
c. What is the sensitivity of OCF to changes in the variable cost figure? Explain what your answer tells you about a $1 decrease in estimated variable costs.

Which of the following best explains why the taxes on discontinued operations are reported separately from taxes on continuing o
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The statement that best explains why the taxes on discontinued operations are reported separately from taxes on continuing operations is:

The taxes on discontinued operations are not expected to recur in future years.

Explanation:

Discontinued operations refer to the cessation of some business activities or segments.  They are usually reported as a separate line item.  Therefore, all the gains and losses for that discontinued division must be reported separately on the company's income statement. The purpose is to distinguish them from those of continuing operations.
