Introduction:
Accounting break-even point refers to a point where the company faces zero profits.
b)
To determine: Internal rate of return, payback period, net
Introduction:
Cash break-even point occurs when minimum revenue from sales is required to fetch the business with positive cash flows.
c)
To determine: Internal rate of return, payback period, net present value at the point of financial break-even level of output.
Introduction:
Financial break-even point refers to the point of earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), which is equal to the fixed financial cost inclusive of preference dividend and interest.

- The AW of a project can be estimated by reducing all cash flows including the capital investment, salvage value in terms of annualized cash flows at an interest rate( i). Select one: True Falsearrow_forwardWhich of the following describes the NPV decision rule? Accept if the cost of the project is recouped within 3 years. Accept if the PV of the cash inflows of the project divided by the absolute value of the cost of the project is greater than one. Accept if the PV of the cash inflows from the project minus the cost of the project is greater than zero Accept if the average net income from the project divided by the average book value is greater than the target required Accept if the rate of return earned on the project is greater than the required return for the project.arrow_forwardComputer Consultants Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow and cost of capital (r) data.

- Modified internal rate of return (MIRR) The IRR evaluation method assumes that cash flows from the project are reinvested at the same rate equal to the IRR. However, in reality the reinvested cash flows may not necessarily generate a return equal to the IRR. Thus, the modified IRR approach makes a more reasonable assumption other than the project’s IRR. Consider the following situation: Grey Fox Aviation Company is analyzing a project that requires an initial investment of $2,225,000. The project’s expected cash flows are: Year Cash Flow Year 1 $325,000 Year 2 –100,000 Year 3 475,000 Year 4 475,000 Q1.

A. The discount rate increases B. The cash flows are extended over a longer period of time. C. The investment cost decreases without affecting the expected income and life of the project. d. The cash flows are accelerated and the project life is correspondingly shortened.arrow_forward
- An investment has an installed cost of $532,800. The cash flows over the four-year life of the investment are projected to be $216,850, $233,450, $200,110, and $148,820, respectively. a. If the discount rate is zero, what is the NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations.) b. If the discount rate is infinite, what is the NPV?

- Galaxy Inc. is considering Projects S and L, whose cash flows are shown below. These projects are mutually exclusive, equally risky, and not repeatable. If the decision is made by choosing the project with the shorter payback, some value may be forgone. How much value will be lost in this instance? Note that under some conditions choosing projects on the basis of the shorter payback will not cause value to be lost.
