Consider a four-year project with the following information: initial fixed asset investment $490,000; straight-line depreciation to zero over the four-year life; zero salvage value; price = $34; variable costs = $24; fixed costs $190,000; quantity sold = 79,000 units; tax rate = 34 percent. a. What is the degree of operating leverage at the given level of output? b. What is the degree of operating leverage at the accounting break-even level of output?

You are considering the following project. What is the NPV of the project? WACC of the project: 0.10 Revenue growth rate: 0.05 Tax rate: 0.40 Revenue for year 1: 13,000 Fixed costs for year 1: 3,000 variable costs (% of revenue): 0.30 project life: 3 years Economic life of equipment: 3 years Cost of equipment: 20,000 Salvage value of equipment: 4,000 Initial investment in net working capital: 2,000
Assume a project has estimated fixed costs of $61,200, variable costs per unit of $84.29, a selling price of $199, and an initial cost of $402,000 for fixed assets. Depreciation is straight-line to zero over the project’s 4-year life. The tax rate is 30 percent, and the discount rate is 12 percent. What is the financial breakeven point?
A project with a life of 10 has an initial fixed asset investment of $25,620, an initial NWC investment of $2,440, and an annual OCF of −$39,040. The fixed asset is fully depreciated over the life of the project and has no salvage value. If the required return is 10 percent, what is the project's equivalent annual cost, or EAC? Show equations using excel.
A five-year project has an initial fixed asset investment of $345,000. an initial NWC investment of $25,000, and an annual OCF of -$41,000. The fixed asset is fully depreciated over the life of the project and has no salvage value. If the required return is 11percent, what is this project's equivalent annual cost, or EAC? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Equivalent annual cost
Determine the Rate of Return (ROR) for the following project. Initial Capital Investment (P) = $2,942,825 Project Life (n) = 10 years Salvage Value at the end of year 10 $50,000 Equal Annual Revenues = $1,100,000 Equal Annual Operations and Maintenance Costs (AOC) = $400,000 Minimum Acceptable Rate of Return (MARR) = 22% ycy %3D %3D %3D That is the ROR of the project (to the nearest 1%)?
Assuming monetary benefits of a construction project at $50,000 per year, one-time costs (initial investment) of $15,000, recurring costs of $35,000 per year, a discount rate of 10 per cent, and a 4-year time horizon, calculate the net present value (NPV) of an information system's costs and benefits. Calculate the overall return on investment (ROI) of the project. During which year does break-even occur? Use the NPV template provided (modify to suit your answer) and clearly display the NPV, ROI, and year in which payback occurs. Write a paragraph explaining whether you would recommend investing in this project based on your ﬁnancial analysis. Explain your answer referring to the NPV, ROI and payback for this project. Discount Rate (10%) Year 0 - 1.0000 Year 1 - .9091 Year 2 - .8264 Year 3 - .7513 Year 4 - .6830
