Phone Home, Inc. is considering a new 6-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $5.876 million


Consider the following income statement:

   

What is the amount of the depreciation tax shield? 
 
A. 
$23,607

B. 
$24,736

C. 
$24,598

D. 
$26,211

E. 
$26,919
Depreciation tax shield = $77,300 × .32 = $24,736


92.
Consider an asset that costs $176,000 and is depreciated straight-line to zero over its 11-year tax life. The asset is to be used in a 7-year project; at the end of the project, the asset can be sold for $22,000. The relevant tax rate is 30 percent. What is the aftertax cash flow from the sale of this asset? 
 
A. 
$31,800

B. 
$32,600

C. 
$33,300

D. 
$34,100

E. 
$34,600
Book value at end of year 7 = $176,000 × 4/11 = $64,000
Aftertax salvage value = $22,000 + [($64,000 - $22,000) × .30] = $34,600

Phone Home, Inc. is considering a new 6-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $5.876 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its 6-year tax life, after which time it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $5,328,000 in annual sales, with costs of $2,131,200. The tax rate is 32 percent. What is the annual operating cash flow for this project? 
 
A. 
$1,894,318

B. 
$2,211,407

C. 
$2,487,211

D. 
$2,663,021

E. 
$2,848,315
OCF = (5,328,000 - $2,131,200)(1 - 0.32) + ($5,876,000/6)(0.32) = $2,487,211
