We are evaluating a project that costs $690,000, has a five-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 71,000 units per year. Price per unit is $75, variable cost per unit is $50, and fixed costs are $897,000 per year. The tax rate is 35 percent, and we require a return of 15 percent on this project.
a. Calculate the accounting break-even point. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.)
