a). Base case NPV calculation table:
If the sales number, variable cost and fixed cost are varied by +/- 10%, the scenario table will be:
Note: All tables for the scenario analysis cannot be pasted here due to the answer limit but they can be found by changing the relevant numbers in the NPV table.
b). Sensitivity of base-case NPV to changes in fixed cost: If fixed cost falls by 10% then NPV rises to 1,460,965.91
Sensitivity of NPV to change in fixed cost = (change in NPV/change in fixed cost)
= (252,299.32-1,460,965.91)/(570,000-513,000) = 2,120.47% or 21.20 times (ignore the -ive sign as we are measuring sensitivity)
c). Cash break-even level = fixed cost/(price per unit - variable cost per unit) = 570,000/(17,700-11,750) = 95.80 units
d-1). Accounting break-even level = (fixed cost + depreciation)/(price per unit - variable cost per unit) = (570,000+493,750)/(17,700-11,750) = 178.78 units
d-2). Degree of operating leverage = 1 + (fixed cost/operating cash flow)
Operating cash flow at 178.78 units = u*(p-vc)-FC = 178.78*(17,700-11,750)-570,000 = 493,750
DOL = 1+ (570,000/493,750) = 2.154
