Hubrey Home Inc. is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.9 million. The fixed asset falls into Class 10 for tax purposes (CCA rate of 30% per year), and at the end of the three years can be sold for a salvage value equal to its UCC. The project is estimated to generate $2,550,000 in annual sales, with costs of $808,000. If the tax rate is 35%, what is the OCF for each year of this project? (Enter the answers in dollars)
Answer :

OCF2 : 1391125
OCF3 : 2521327.5
Below is the table showing calculation :
Year 0 | Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | |
Initial Investment | 2900000 | |||
Annual Sales | 2550000 | 2550000 | 2550000 | |
Less :Annual Cost | 808000 | 808000 | 808000 | |
Less : Depreciation (Working Note ) | 435000 | 739500 | 517650 | |

Add : Depreciation | 435000 | 739500 | 517650 | |
Plus : Salvage Value | 1207850 | |||
Less : tax on salvage @ 35% | 0 | |||
Operating Cash Flows | 2900000 | 1284550 | 1391125 | 2521327.5 |
Working Note : | ||||
Year 1 : 2900000 * 30%/2 =435000 | ||||
Year 2 : (2900000 - 435000) * 30% = 739500 | ||||
Year 3 : (2900000-435000-739500) * 30% =517650 | ||||
Book Value = (2900000-435000-739500-517650) = 1207850 | ||||
Gain on Sale = Salvage Value - Book Value | ||||
= 1207850 - 1207850 | ||||
= 0 |
