Also calculate the overall return on investment (ROI) of the project and then present a break-even analysis (BEA). At what point does break-even occur?arrow_forwardA VOM has a selling price of P 400.

He has invited you to be a partner. Best estimates for the total depreciable capital for equipment is $500,000. Expected sales amount to $250,000 annually and total manufacturing costs without depreciation was estimated to be about $96,500 yearly. If equipment can be purchased and installed in one year and the project has a ten year life, perform a complete discounted cash flow analysis and make a decision if you should invest or not. Assume straight-line depreciation for ten years at which point the equipment salvage value will be zero. Also assume that you can invest at 10% interest in other opportunitites for comparisonarrow_forward
