Break-even analysis is a supply-side analysis. Only the costs of the sales is analyze with break-even. It does not analyze how demand may be affected at different price levels.

The project should commence if it has a positive NPV, otherwise it should be abandoned. The net present value (NPV) approach assumes the investment opportunity is a now-or-never decision, and once the investment is undertaken, there is no

1. Effect of tax benefit on firm’s value (Hickman et al., 1996: 402) the tax shield from debt (TS) generates a cash flow stream that is equal to the corporate tax rate times the risk-free interest payment, Cash flow from TS = τC*rf*D , (2) where rf is the risk-free interest rate and D is the market value of debt.
