1) Calculating Costs and Break-Even

Night Shades, Inc. (NSI) manufactures biotech sunglasses. The variable materials cost is $10.48 per unit, and the variable labor cost is $6.89 per unit.

c) If the selling price is $49.99 per unit, does NSI break even on a cash basis? If depreciation is $490,000 per year, what is the accounting break-even point?

7) Calculating Break-Even

In each of the following cases, calculate the accounting break-even and the cash break-even points. Ignore any tax effects in calculating the cash break-even

Unit Price Unit Variable Cost Fixed Cost Depreciation
$3,020 $2,275 $9,000,000 $3,100,000
46 41 73,000 150,000
11 4 1,700 930

9) Calculating Break-Even

A project has the following estimated data: price = $62 per unite; variable cots = $41 per unit; fixed costs = $15,500; required return = 12 percent: initial investment = $24,000; life= four years. Ignoring the effect of taxes, what is the accounting break-even quantity? The cash break-even quantity? The financial break-even quantity?
