You have been asked by the president of your company to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new special-purpose truck for $410,000. The truck falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it will be sold after 3 years for $66,000. Use of the truck will require an increase in NWC (spare parts inventory) of $6,600. The truck will have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $120,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm's marginal tax rate is 21 percent. What will the cash flows for this project be during year 3?
$136,667
$155,521
$46,830
$107,551
Depriciation = 14.81%*410000 = $60,721
Tax on sale of Asset = (66,000-(410000*7.41%))*21%
= 30,381*21%
= 6,380
Net Sales proceed from Asset = 66000-6380
= 59,620
Operating Cashflow calculation :-
Profit before tax = 120000-60,621 = 59,379
Net Income = 59,379*(1-21%) = 46,909
Operating Cashflow= 46,909+60,721 = 107,630
Total Cashflow = 107,630+59,620+6,600 = 155,521
