    Dear Members,

    May you please have a look on the attachment, as per my understanding the solution is as follows:

    Description Gross amount $ Net Amount $
    Net Cash flow increased income 100,000 60,000
    Depr. Tax sheild 16,000 6,400
    Tax Sheild on the loss of existing Equip. 4,000 1,600
    Net cash flow at the end of year 1 68,000

    I could not understand why in Gliem's solution tax shield is calc. on Current Depr. Less old Depr. multiplied by tax rate

    Dear Israr, 

    Because the current equipment which will be disposed still have TWO years useful life. and the question ask u to calculate the net cash flow for the FIRST year.

    The point is that you need to find the difference between the new and old depreciation tax shield,,, What if we keep using the old one, comparing with what if we use the new one.

    Incremental after-tax operating cash flows for each year of a capital project consist of two components:
    1-The after-tax cash inflows from operations PLUS,
    2-The difference in depreciation tax shields between the old and new equipment.

    Hi..

    Was wondering why the $8000 in scrap value was not taken into account to calculate the cash flows. Would this also be relevant?
