The company's income tax rate is 30% and its after-tax discount rate is 10%. The working capital would be required immediately and would be released for use elsewhere at the end of the project. The company uses straight-line depreciation on all equipment. Assume cash flows occur at the end of the year except for the initial investments. The company takes income taxes into account in its capital budgeting.

The total cash flow net of income taxes in year 2 is:

$90,000

$54,000

$130,000

QUESTION 2

Battaglia Corporation is considering a capital budgeting project that would require investing $240,000 in equipment with an expected life of 4 years and zero salvage value. Annual incremental sales would be $620,000 and annual incremental cash operating expenses would be $460,000. The project would also require a one-time renovation cost of $80,000 in year 3.

The company's income tax rate is 30% and its after-tax discount rate is 7%. The company uses straight-line depreciation. Assume cash flows occur at the end of the year except for the initial investments. The company takes income taxes into account in its capital budgeting.

The total cash flow net of income taxes in year 2 is:

$160,000

$100,000

$130,000

$74,000

Explanation / Answer

equipment= $160,000, Expected project life =4 years, salvage value= 0

Depreciation as per SLM = Asset - salvage value / life

= 160000 - 0 / 4 = 40000

Annual sales = $470,000

Annual cash operating expenses =$340000

Cash operating profit = 130000

Less = depreciation = 40000

Cash flow = 90000

Less - tax @30% = 27000

   = 63000

Add- depreciation = 40000

= 103000

2. equipment value = $240,000, expected life = 4 years and salvage value= 0

Depreciation as per SLM = Asset - salvage value / life

= 240000 - 0 / 4 = 60000

Annual sales = $620,000

Annual cash operating expenses =$460000

Cash operating profit = 160000

Less = depreciation = 60000

Cash flow = 100000

Less - tax @30% = 30000

   = 70000

Add- depreciation = 60000

= 130000

total cash flow net of income taxes in year 2 = 130000
