Liberty Services is now at fourth year of a project with five year-life. The project has brought $10,000 of incremental cash operating income every year. No salvage value is expected and annual depreciation expense is $4,500. The equipment originally cost $22,500, of which 80% has been depreciated. The firm can sell the used equipment today for $6,000, and its tax rate is 40%. what would be the end-of life cash flow (terminal cash flow)? $ 6,000 $13,200 $15,850
Depreciated value of asset = 80% * 22500 = $18000
Book Value of asset = $22500 - $18000 = $4500
Sale Price of asset = $6000
Gain on Sale of asset = $6000 - $4500 = $1500
Tax of gain on sale of asset = 40% * $1500 = $600
Net cash from sale of asset = $6000 - $600 = $5400
Incremental cash Income = $10000
Incremental Net Income = Incremental Cash Income - Depreciation
Incremental Net Income = $10000 - $4500 = $5500
Tax = 40% * $5500 = $2200
Net Income = $5500 - $2200 = $3300
Incremental after tax cash flow = $3300 + $4500 = $7800
Hence, Terminal cash flow = Incremental after tax cash flow + Net cash from sale of asset
= $7800 + $5400 = $13200
End of life cash flow is $13200
