Equipment cost (depreciable basis) $100,000 Straight-line depreciation rate 33.333% Sales revenues, each year $60,000 Operating costs (excl. depr.) $25,000 Tax rate 35.0% a. $29,943 b. $32,008 c. $34,417 d. $42,333 e. $37,858
Solution:
The Project's Year 1 Cash Flow = $ 34,417
Thus the solution is Option c. $ 34,417
