project requires an initial fixed asset investment of $148,000, has annual fixed costs of $39,800, a contribution margin of $14.62, a tax rate of 21 percent, a discount rate of 15 percent, and straight-line depreciation over the project's 3-year life. The assets will be worthless at the end of the project. What is the present value break-even point in units per year?

18,119 units

Explanation:

Break even Point is the level of activity at which the the project makes neither a profit nor loss.

Break even Point = (Annual fixed costs of a project + Annual equivalent cost of the project) ÷ Contribution per unit

where,

Annual fixed costs of a project = $39,800

Step 1 : Calculate PMT

This is to account for additional fixed costs on initial investment that needs to be covered.

N = 3

I = 15 %

PV = $148,000

FV = $0

PMT = ?

Using a Financial calculator, the PMT is $225,090

Step 2: Calculate Break Even Point

Break even Point =  ($39,800 + $225,090) ÷ $14.62

                             = 18,119 units

Conclusion

The present value break-even point in units per year is 18,119 units

so they can see what that city is producing and to also see if they can some how get that product. like gold in africa.

it's d. out with the planting and harvest of the crops.
