A 10-year steel pipe-producing project requires $64 million in upfront investment (all in depreciable assets), $25 million of which is borrowed capital at an interest rate of 5.20% per year. The expected pipe sales are 1,700,000 pipes per year. The expected price per pipe is $375 and the variable cost is $350 per unit. The fixed costs excluding depreciation are expected to be $22 million per year for ten years. The upfront investment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis for the 10-year life of the project to $8 million book value. The expected salvage value of the assets is $12 million. The tax rate is 28% and the RRR applicable to the project is 12%. a. Calculate the accounting and cash break-even points. Answer: QA 1,104,000 units; Qc = 880,000 units - b. Calculate the DOL, DFL, and DCL (Do not use the equations and do your own change in sales). Answer: DOL=2.07; DFL-1.07; DCL = 2.21 A 10-year steel pipe-producing project requires $64 million in upfront investment (all in depreciable assets), $25 million of which is borrowed capital at an interest rate of 5.20% per year.
