Break-Even Point Calculation in Sales

This document presents a break-even analysis of a company based on accounting profit and net present value (NPV). It includes key assumptions, cash flow forecasts over 7 years, and sensitivity analyses. It shows that the break-even point in year 1 is 1,875 units based on accounting profit being zero. The NPV is positive at $594, indicating the project is profitable. A sensitivity table maps the NPV contour where it equals zero for different year 1 unit sales and year 2 sales growth rates.
