Question

Homer Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. The cost savings from the equipment would result in an annual increase in net income after tax of $100,000. The equipment will have an initial cost of $400,000 and have a 5-year life. If the salvage value of the equipment is estimated to be $75,000, what is the annual net cash flow?

Answer 1

$165,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the annual net cash flow is shown below:

But before that first we have to find the depreciation expense which is

= (Initial cost - Salvage Value) ÷ estimated life

= ($400,000 - $75,000) ÷ 5 years

= $65,000

Now the annual net cash flow is

= Depreciation expense + Net Income

= $65,000 + $100,000

= $165,000

We simply added the depreciation expense and the net income so that the annual net cash flow could come
