The cash flow for year 1= $ 30,333
Explanation:
To calculate year one depreciation,
Depreciation expense= cost of the asset × rate of first year depreciation
= 65000×33.33/100
= $21,664.50
To calculate the tax saving on depreciation,
Tax saving on depreciation= depreciation expense×tax rate
= 21,664.50×35/100
= $ 7,582.575
Sales revenue= $ 60,000
Less: operating expense= $25,000
Profit before tax= $35,000
Less: tax expense at 35% on $35,000= $ 12,250
Profit after tax= $22,750
Add: tax saving on depreciation= $ 7,582.575
Cash flow for year 1= $22,750+$ 7,582.575
= 30,332.575 or 30,333
The cash flow for year 1= $ 30,333
