A Company is considering a proposal of installing a drying equipment. The equipment would involve a Cash outlay of 6,00,000 and net Working Capital of 80,000. The expected life of the project is 5 years without any salvage value. Assume that the company is allowed to charge depreciation on straight-line basis for Income-tax purpose. The estimated before-tax cash inflows are given below: Year Before-tax Cash inflows ('000) 1 2 3 4 5 240 275 210 180 160 The applicable Income-tax rate to the Company is 35%. If the Company's opportunity Cost of Capital is 12%, calculate the equipment's discounted payback period, payback period, net present value and internal rate of return.

Consider a profitable company with an asset that cost $3 million that is depreciated straight line to zero over. It’s 11 year depreciable tax life.

If the relevant tax rate is 18%, what is the after tax cash flow from the sale of this asset (after tax salvage)?
As a member of UA Corporation's financial staff, you must estimate the Year 1 cash flow for a proposed project with the following data. Under the new tax law, the equipment used in the project is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation, so it will be fully depreciated at t = 0. What is the Year 1 cash flow? Do not round the intermediate calculations and round the final answer to the nearest whole number. Sales revenues, each year $45,500 Other operating costs $22,522 Interest expense $4,000 Tax rate 25.0%
The following data are from an after-tax cash flow analysis in year 1 for anew MACRS 5-year property. How much money would be saved in year 1 if 100% bonus depreciation is used?

3. Kansas Corporation is reviewing an investment proposal that has an initial cost of $70,500. An estimate of the investment's end-of-year book value, the yearly after-tax net cash inflows, and the yearly net income are presented in the schedule below. Yearly after-tax net cash inflows include savings from the depreciation tax shield.
