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
