A project has the following estimated data: price = $99 per unit; variable costs = $42.57 per unit; fixed costs = $6,400; required return = 15 percent; initial investment = $6,000; life = seven years. Ignore the effect of taxes and use straight line depreciation to zero.

Required:
(a) What is the accounting break-even quantity? (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
(b) What is the cash break-even quantity? (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
(c) What is the financial break-even quantity? (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)

(d)

What is the degree of operating leverage at the financial break-even level of output? (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
