Chapter 11, Problem 10QP
Using Break-Even Analysis [LO3] Consider a project with the following data: accounting break-even quantity = 14,200 units; cash break-even quantity = 10,300 units; life = five years; fixed costs = $170,000; variable costs = $27 pier unit; required return = 12 percent. Ignoring the effect of taxes, find the financial break-even quantity.

The most likely outcomes for a particular project are estimated as follows:
Unit price
Variable cost
$
49
21
$309, 000
29, 200 uni ts per year
Fixed cost
Expected sales
However, you recognize that some of these estimates are subject to error. Suppose that each variable may turn out to be either 10%
higher or 10% lower than the initial estimate. The project will last for 13 years and requires an initial investment of $0.99 million, which
will be depreciated straight-line over the project life to a final value of zero. The firm's tax rate is 35% and the required rate of return is
17%. What is project NPV in the "best case" scenario, that is, assuming all variables take on the best possible value? (Round your
answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

What about the "worst case" scenario? (Use the minus sign for negative values. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar
amount.)

However, you recognize that some of these estimates are subject to error. Suppose that each variable may turn out to be either 10%
higher or 10% lower than the initial estimate. The project will last for 10 years and requires an initial investment of $1.4 million, which will
be depreclated straight-line over the project life to a final value of zero. The firm's tax rate is 21% and the required rate of return is 14%.
(For all the requirements, a negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in dollars not in millions. Do
not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
a. What is project NPV in the best-case scenario, that is, assuming all variables take on the best possible value?
b. What is project NPV in the worst-case scenario?

However, you recognize that some of these estimates are subject to
error. Suppose each variable turns out to be either 10% higher or 10%
lower than the initial estimate. The project will last for 10 years and
requires an initial investment of $2.3 million, which will be depreciated
straight-line over the project life to a final value of zero. The firm's tax
rate is 21%, and the required rate of return is 10%.

a. What is project's NPV in the best-case scenario, that is, assuming
all variables take on the best possible value?
b. What is project's NPV in the worst-case scenario?
Note: For all the requirements, a negative amount should be
indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answers in dollars, not in
millions. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your
