ABC, Inc. is considering a new project requiring a $270,000 initial investment in equipment having a useful life of 3 years with zero expected salvage value. The investment will produce $220,000 in annual revenues and $180,000 in annual costs. Assume a tax rate of 30% and straight-line depreciation. What is the operating cash flow per year?
$118,000
$67,000
$91,000
$69,000
$55,000
Operating cash flow = Profit after tax + Depreciation
Calculation of profit after tax :
Annual Revenue. (a) = $220,000
Annual costs. (b) = $180,000
Profit before tax. ( c = a - b. ). = $ 40,000
Tax rate @ 30%. (d) =. $.12,000
Profit after tax ( e= c- d ) = $ 28,000
Depreciation under straight line method =
=( Original cost - salvage value ) ÷ expected life
= ($ 270,000 - 0 ) ÷ 3 years
= $ 90,000
Operating cash flow = $28,000 + $90,000
= $ 118,000
So, the correct answer is $118,000
