A project has the following projected financial data for its first year of operation. ITEM AMOUNT Sales $500,000 Cost of Goods $200,000 Other expenses $100,000 Depreciation $50,000 Investment in NWC $20,000 Investment in Gross PPE $0 Interest Expense $40,000 If the tax rate for the firm is 30%, what is the project cash flow for the first year based on this information? Question 10 options: $75,000 $107,000 $135,000 $155,000 $205,000
Project cash flow for year 1 will be PAT + Depreciation - Investment in NWC - Investment in Gross PPE
First, we need to calculate PAT:
| Sales | $ 500,000 | 
| Less: COGS | $ 200,000 | 
| Gross Profit | $ 300,000 | 
| Less: Other Expenses | $ 100,000 | 
| Less: Depreciation | $ 50,000 | 
| EBIT | $ 150,000 | 
| Less: Interest | $ 40,000 | 
| EBT | $ 110,000 | 
| Less: Tax | $ 33,000 | 
| PAT | $ 77,000 | 
Project cash flow for year 1 = $77,000 + $50,000 - $20,000 = $107,000
