. Interest Expense = $1,400

. Tax rate = 35.0%

Answer 1

Computation of year 1 cash flow

Taxes expenses are included in cash flow. Tax expense is calculated on net income.

Cash sales revenue	$13,100
Less: Cash operating cost	$6,000
Less: Interest expense	$1,400
Less: Depreciation	$4,000
Net income=$13,100-$6,000-$1,400-$4,000	$1,700

 

Tax expense = Net income * tax rate

                       = $1,700*35%

                       = $595

 

It means net of cash revenue minus cash expenses and taxes.

 

Cash sales revenue	$13,100
Less: Cash Operating Cost	$6,000
Less: Interest expense	$1,400
Less: Tax expense(see step 2 )	$595
Year 1 cash Flow=$13,100-$6,000-$1,400-$595	$5,105

 

Note: Depreciation is not included since it is a non-cash expense.

 

Therefore year 1 cash flow is equal to $ 5,105.

Therefore year 1 cash flow is equal to $ 5,105.
