How do I calculate the break-even annual sales price decline?

What is thee break-even annual unit sales increse?

You are evaluating the HomeNet project under the following assumptions: You depreciate the equipment, costing $7.5 million, over three years using straight-line depreciation. Research and development expenditures total $15 million in year 0 and selling, general, and administrative expenses are $2.8 million per year (assuming there is no cannibalization). Also assume HomeNet will have no incremental cash or inventory requirements (products will be shipped directly from the contract manufacturer to customers). However, receivables related to HomeNet are expected to account for 15% of annual sales, and payables are expected to be 15% of the annual cost of goods sold. Under these assumptions and assuming a cost of capital of 14%, calculate: a. The break-even annual sales price decline if: sales of 50,000 units in year 1 increase by 55,000 units per year over the life of the project, the year 1 sales price is $260/unit, and the year 1 cost of $120/unit decreases by 20% annually. See b. The break-even annual unit sales increase if: sales are 50,000 units in year 1, the year 1 sales price of $260 unit, decreases by 5% annually and the year 1 cost of $120 unit decreases by 20% annually. See a. The break-even annual sales price decline if: sales of 50,000 units in year 1 increase by 55,000 units per year over the lfe of the project, the year 1 sales price is $260/unit, and the year 1 cost of $120/unit decreases by 20% annually. See The break-even annual sales price decline is %. (Round to two decimal places.) b. The break-even annual unit sales increase if: sales are 50,000 units in year 1, the year 1 sales price of $260/unit, decreases by 5% annually and the year 1 cost of $120/unit decreases by 20% annually. See The break-even annual unit sales increase is units. (Round to the nearest integer.)
