Explanation / Answer

17) True. As per the new act, there is a decrease in corporate tax rate.

18) False. Interest expense was always 100% tax deductible even before the act.

19) True. As it as raised money from creditors, it is likely that its cash flow to them is negative.

20) False. Free Cash flows and net income are calculated in different ways and it has nothing to do with the accounting standards.

21) $136. In 3 years, total amount = P x (1 + r x n) = 100 x (1 + 12% x 3) = $136

22) True. Interest rates and present Value are inversely related. PV = FV / (1 + r)^n

23) True. Interest rates and future value are directly related. FV = PV x (1 + r)^n
