Determine the Investment cash flow, Operating cash flow, and Net cash flow based on the following assumptions. Initial investment of $120,000 to purchase and install a piece of equipment for an expansion project, 5 year straight line depreciation, $10,000 sale of equipment at the end of five years. The new equipment will increase pre tax revenue by $100,000 annually and increase operating expenses by $25,000 annually. The tax rate is 30%
Investment cash flow :
Initial investment : - $ 120,000
Sale of equipment : $ 10,000
Net investment cash outflow : - $ 110,000
Operating cash flow:
Increase in pre tax revenue : $ 100,000
Increase in operating expenses: - $ 25,000
Net operating cash flow pre tax: $ 75,000
Tax @ 30% : $ 22,500
After tax cash inflow : $ 52,500
Add: Tax savings due to depreciation : $ 6,600 (note 1)
Net post tax operating cash flow: $ 59,100
Note 1: Tax savings due to depreciation:
= Depreciation × Tax rate = 22000 × 30% = $ 6,600
Depreciation = (cost - salvage value) ÷ life of asset
= (120000 - 10000) ÷ 5 = 22,000
Overall net cash flow :
Investing cash flow + operating cash flow
= -110,000 + 59100
= - $ 50,900
