A generator costs $150 and requires $80 in maintenance for each year of its 3 year life. After 3 years this generator will be replaced by a new one. The generator is straight-line depreciable to zero and has no salvage value. Assume a tax rate of 35 percent and a discount rate of 15 percent. What is the Operating Cash Flow (OCF) per year associated with the generator project?
Given, generator costs $150
maintenance Cost =. $80 per year
Life = 3 years
Salvage = 0
tax rate = 35%
Discounting Rate = 15%
Particulars | Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 |
Generator Costs | -150 | 0 | 0 |
Maintenance | -80 | -80 | -80 |
Depreciation | 50 | 50 | 50 |
Tax Shield (Tax - 35%) | 45.5 | 45.5 | 45.5 |
Operating Cash Flow | (184.50) | (34.50) | (34.50) |
Discounting Factor (Rate - 15%) | 0.86957 | 0.75614 | 0.65752 |
Discounted Operating Cash Flow | (160.43) | (26.09) | (22.68) |
Well highlighted two answers, First one is asked in the question, but second also as discounting rate is given.
