PROBLEM 1 (20%)You are evaluating a new product launched in Singapore that costs $896.000. It has an eight-yearlife and has no salvage value. By assuming the depreciation is straight-line to zero overthe life of the project, you project that the sales will be at 100,000 units per year. Based on yourestimation, the price per unit is $40, variable cost per unit is $25, fixed costs are $900,000, andtax rate is 35%. The required return on this project is 15%.a. Calculate the accounting break-even point. What is the degree of operating leverage atthe accounting break-even point?b. Calculate the base-case cash flow and NPV. What is the sensitivity of NPV to changesin the sales figure? Explain what your answer tells you about a 5000 unit decrease orincrease in the projected sales.
