The information below is used for the next 8 questions

A project requires an initial investment of $10,000, straight-line depreciable to zero over 4 years. The discount rate is 10%. Your tax bracket is 34% and you receive a tax credit for negative earnings in

the year in which the loss occurs. Additional information for variables with forecast error are shown below.

DOL =1 + ($4,000/$4,007.32) = 1.998

12 What is the base case NPV for the project?

A) $1,523

B) $4,974

C) $5,247

D) $6,529

Unit Sales Price/unit Variable cost/unit Fixed costs

Upper Bound 3,250

$16

$10 $10,000

NPV= 0 implies $9,000 = OCF(PVIFA16%,3) OCF = $4,007.32

QF = ($4,000 + $4,007.32)/($65 33) = 250

PVAF=(1-1/(1+0.16)^3)/0.16= 2.24589

E) $8,281

13 What is the worst case NPV for the project?

A) $11,594

B) $10,967

C) $ 4,423

D) $ 2,327

E) $3,677

14 What is the best case NPV for the project? A)

$5,247 $26,462 $29,306 $32,327 $34,252

B) C) D) E)

15 What is the base case accounting break-even point?

A) 1,083

B) 1,500

C) 1,800

D) 2,300

E) 2,237

16 What is the base case cash break-even point?

A) 1,500

B) 1,800

C) 1,917

D) 2,300

E) 2,237

17 What is the base case financial break-even point? Ignore taxes.

A) 1,500

B) 1,917

C) 2,300

D) 2,431

E) 2,535

18 Your company may introduce a new line of tennis shoes. You have been given the following projections: sales = 35,000 units @ $40 per

unit; variable costs = $25 per unit; fixed costs = $125,000 per year; initial investment = $1,000,000; interest expense = $50,000 per year; project life = 10 years. What is the net income for this project if the corporate tax rate is 34%? You may assume straight-line depreciation and a discount rate of 12%.

A) $119,000

B) $165,000

C) $198,000

D) $264,000

E) $297,000

165000 =(35000*(40-25)-125000-50000-100000)*(1-0.34)

19 Suppose, the project has OCF of $55000 and its fixed costs are $7000. All else the same, if fixed costs increase to $7300 (sales and other costs stay the same)

which of the following will be true? I. Operating leverage will increase

II. Accounting break-even will increase III. Cash break-even increase IV. Operating cash flow increase

A) I only

B) II only

C) I and II only

D) II and IV only

E) I, II, and III only

F) I, II, and IV only

G) I, II, III, and IV

20 The project has the following information: straight-line depreciation to zero, Initial investment in fixed assets = $20,000; required level of net working capital = $5,000; life = 4 years; Sales = $17,000 per year; total annual costs=$7000, no salvage value; tax rate = 35%.

What is NPV if the discount rate = 18%

A) -$139,6000

B) -$997,000

C) -$228,000

D) $22,000

E) $840,000

F) $1,113,000

G) $1,687,000

H) $2,899,000
