Explanation / Answer

1) Equal instalment be X. Hence X/(1+r) + X/(1+r2) = 100,000

Amount paid in year 1 and year 2 = X = $ 57619.05 which is closest to $ 57,620

Out of this $ 5238 goes towards interest and hence, $ 52,382 goes towards prncipal payment

2) As per MACRS 3 year table depreciaition in year 2 = 44.45%

44.45% * 100,000 = 44,450

=>Answer = $ 44,450

3) Cash flow amount is unaffected by depreciation. Hence before tax cash flow = gross income - op expenses = $ 120,000 - $ 70,000 = $ 50,000 = Answer

4) Depreciation recapture amount = Sell value - Book value = $ 240,000 - $ 60,000 = $ 180,000 = Answer

5) Taxable income = Gross Income - Operating expenses - Depreciation + depreciation recapture = 120,000 - 70,000 - 40,000 + 180,000 = $ 190,000 = answer
