King Nothing is evaluating a new 6-year project that will have annual sales of $465,000 and costs of $317,000. The project will require fixed assets of $565,000, which will be depreciated on a 5-year MACRS schedule. The annual depreciation percentages are 20.00 percent, 32.00 percent, 19.20 percent, 11.52 percent, 11.52 percent, and 5.76 percent, respectively. The company has a tax rate of 34 percent. What is the operating cash flow for Year 3?

$134,563 OCF = ($465,000 − 317,000)(1 − .34) + .34(.1920)($565,000) OCF = $134,563

Bruno's Lunch Counter is expanding and expects operating cash flows of $21,700 a year for 5 years as a result. This expansion requires $63,000 in new fixed assets.

You are considering investing in a company that cultivates abalone for sale to local restaurants. Use the following information: Sales price per abalone = $44.60 Variable costs per abalone = $11.25 Fixed costs per year = $498,000 Depreciation per year = $102,000 Tax rate = 21% The discount rate for the company is 13 percent, the initial investment in equipment is $918,000, and the project's economic life is 9 years. Assume the equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the project's life and has no salvage value. Accounting Breakeven?

Accounting break-even level = 17,991.00 Financial break-even level = 20,909.41 The accounting break-even is the aftertax sum of the fixed costs and depreciation charge divided by the aftertax contribution margin (selling price minus variable cost). So, the accounting break-even level of sales is: QA = [(FC + Depreciation)(1 - TC)]/[(P - VC)(1 - TC)] QA = [($498,000 + $918,000/9)(1 - .21)]/[($44.60 - 11.25)(1 - .21)] QA = 17,991.00, or about 17,991 units

Assume the equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the project's life and has no salvage value. Financial Breakeven?

When calculating the financial break-even point, we express the initial investment as an equivalent annual cost (EAC). Dividing the initial investment by the 9-year annuity factor, discounted at 13 percent, the EAC of the initial investment is: EAC = Initial Investment/PVIFA13%,9 EAC = $918,000/5.13166 EAC = $178,889.65 The financial break-even point for this project is: QF = [EAC + FC(1 - TC) - D(TC)]/[(P - VC)(1 - TC)] QF = [$178,889.65 + $498,000(.79) - ($918,000/9)(.21)]/[($44.60 - 11.25)(.79)] QF = 20,909.41, or about 20,909 units
