    Dear Bahaa,

    I agree with you for Question No. 20 , let experts to comment on it.

    Regarding Question No. 21, Asset Value is :$500,000 / 4 Years = $125,000 is the Depreciation. Since there is Tax benefit on this Non-Cash flow item, so, Cash Flow due to depreciation is: $125,000 x .40% = $50,000/-
