Explanation / Answer

Answer: Calculation of cash flow after tax:

Calculation of cash outflow:

Calculation of NPV:

Answer (c): since N.P.V is positive so project is accepted

Notes: 1. contribution = sales - variable cost

                              =25 - 20 = 5 $

2. depreciation = (original cost - salvage value)/useful life

= (120 - 20)/4 = 25

Particulars Amount ($ in million) Contribution 50 (10 toys * 5 ) less: fixed cost 10 less: intrest expense 3 less: depreciation ((120 - 20))/4=25 25 earning before tax (contribution - fixed cost - intrest exp. - depreciation) 12 less: tax @ 40% (earning before tax *40%) 4.8 earning after tax (earning before tax - tax) 7.2 add : depreciation 25 Cash flow after tax ( earning after tax + depreciation) 32.2
