Consider a four-year project with the following information: Initial fixed asset investment = $555,000; straight-line depreciation to zero over the four-year life; zero salvage value; price = $37; variable costs = $25; fixed costs = $230,000; quantity sold = 79,000 units; tax rate = 24 percent. How sensitive is OCF to changes in quantity sold?
Light emitting diodes (LED) light bulbs have become required in recent years, but do they make financial sense? Suppose a typical 60-watt incandescent light bulb costs $.39 and lasts 1,000 hours. A 15-watt LED, which provides the same light, costs $3.10 and lasts for 12,000 hours. A kilowatt-hour of electricity costs $.115. A kilowatt-hour is 1,000 watts for 1 hour. If you require a return of 11 percent and use a light fixture 500 hours per year, what is the equivalent annual cost of each light bulb? Note: A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
