Forecasts for project ST are shown above. Using a discount rate of 10%, the project has a positive NPV of $6,074.69. Estimate within $100 the level of sales revenue that will result in an NPV of $0.00. No other variables will change

Year 0 Year 0 Year 1 Year 2
Revenue $15,000 $15,000
Variable Cost ($5,000) ($5,000)
Depreciation ($200) ($200)

Answer: By trial and error, sales revenue of $10,000 will result in free cash flow $3,315 for each year and a net present value close to $0.00. Using a financial calculator, students could also solve for the 2 year annuity that results in NPV = CAPEX and then work their way back up through the pro forma cash flow forecasts.
