11) Nakama Corporation is considering investing in a project that would have a 4 year expected
useful life. The company would need to invest $280,000 in equipment that will have zero salvage
value at the end of the project. Annual incremental sales would be $640,000 and annual cash
operating expenses would be $480,000. In year 3 the company would have to incur one-time
renovation expenses of $50,000. Working capital in the amount of $20,000 would be required.
The working capital would be released for use elsewhere at the end of the project. The company
uses straight-line depreciation on all equipment. The company's tax rate is 30%.

The income tax expense in year 2:


A) $48,000
B) $12,000
C) $14,500
D) $27,000

Answer: D
Explanation: Depreciation expense = (Original cost – Salvage value) ÷ Useful life

= ($280,000 – $0) ÷ 4 years = $70,000 per year

Calculate the annual tax expense:
Sales $ 640,000

59) Boynes Corporation is considering a capital budgeting project that would require investing
$200,000 in equipment with an expected life of 4 years and zero salvage value. Annual
incremental sales would be $490,000 and annual incremental cash operating expenses would be
$330,000. The project would also require an immediate investment in working capital of $10,000
which would be released for use elsewhere at the end of the project. The project would also
require a one-time renovation cost of $70,000 in year 3. The company's income tax rate is 30%
and its after-tax discount rate is 14%. The company uses straight-line depreciation. Assume cash
flows occur at the end of the year except for the initial investments. The company takes income
taxes into account in its capital budgeting.

The total cash flow net of income taxes in year 3 is:


A) $78,000
B) $90,000
C) $57,000
D) $127,000

Answer: A
Explanation: Depreciation expense = (Original cost - Salvage value) ÷ Useful life

= ($200,000 - $0) ÷ 4 years = $50,000 per year

require a one-time renovation cost of $20,000 in year 3. The company's income tax rate is 30%
and its after-tax discount rate is 12%. The company uses straight-line depreciation. Assume cash
flows occur at the end of the year except for the initial investments. The company takes income
taxes into account in its capital budgeting.

The income tax expense in year 3 is:


A) $15,000
B) $6,000
C) $3,000
D) $9,000

Answer: C
Explanation: Depreciation expense = (Original cost − Salvage value) ÷ Useful life

= ($80,000 − $0) ÷ 4 years = $20,000 per year

$160,000 in equipment with an expected life of 4 years and zero salvage value. Annual
incremental sales would be $450,000 and annual incremental cash operating expenses would be
$320,000. The project would also require a one-time renovation cost of $70,000 in year 3. The
company's income tax rate is 30% and its after-tax discount rate is 7%. The company uses
straight-line depreciation. Assume cash flows occur at the end of the year except for the initial
investments. The company takes income taxes into account in its capital budgeting.

The total cash flow net of income taxes in year 3 is:


A) $54,000
B) $42,000
C) $14,000
D) $103,000

Answer: A
Explanation: Depreciation expense = (Original cost − Salvage value) ÷ Useful life

= ($160,000 − $0) ÷ 4 years = $40,000 per year

132) Ariel Corporation has provided the following information concerning a capital budgeting
project:

Investment required in equipment $630,000


Working capital requirement $30,000
Net annual operating cash inflow $300,000
Tax rate 30%
After-tax discount rate 14%

The expected life of the project and the equipment is 3 years and the equipment has zero salvage
value. The working capital would be required immediately and would be released for use
elsewhere at the end of the project. The company uses straight-line depreciation on all equipment
and the depreciation expense on the equipment would be $210,000 per year. Assume cash flows
occur at the end of the year except for the initial investments. The company takes income taxes
into account in its capital budgeting. The net annual operating cash inflow is the difference
between the incremental sales revenue and incremental cash operating expenses.

142) Yau Corporation is considering a capital budgeting project that would require investing
$120,000 in equipment with a 4 year useful life and zero salvage value. Data concerning that
project appear below:

Annual incremental sales $360,000


Annual incremental cash operating expenses $250,000
One-time renovation expense in year 3 $50,000

An investment of $20,000 in working capital would be required immediately and would be


released for use elsewhere at the end of the project. The company uses straight-line depreciation
on all equipment. Assume cash flows occur at the end of the year except for the initial
investments. The company takes income taxes into account in its capital budgeting. The
company's tax rate is 30% and the after-tax discount rate is 9%.
