We are evaluating a project that costs $$845,000,$ has an

eight$-$year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation

is straight$-$line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are

projected at $51,000$ units per year. Price per unit is $$53,$ variable

cost per unit is $$27,$ and fixed costs are $$950,000$ per year. The

tax rate is $22$ percent, and we require a return of $10$ percent on

this project.a$-1.$ Calculate the accounting break$-$even point. $($Do not round

intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest

whole number, e$.$g$.,32.)$a$-2.$ What is the degree of operating leverage at the accounting

break$-$even point? $($Do not round intermediate calculations and round

your answer to $3$ decimal places, e$.$g$.,32\mathrm{.}161.)$b$-1.$ Calculate the base$-$case cash flow and NPV$.($Do not round

intermediate calculations. Round your cash flow answer to the

nearest whole number, e$.$g$.,32.$ Round your NPV answer to $2$ decimal

places, e$.$g$.,32\mathrm{.}16.)$b$-2.$ What is the sensitivity of NPV to changes in the quantity

sold? $($Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer

to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.,32\mathrm{.}16.)$c$.$ What is the sensitivity of OCF to changes in the variable

cost figure? $($A negative answer should be indicated by a minus

sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.$)$
