EBIT
Taxes (24%)
Net Income

a. Calculate the OCF. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. What is the depreciation tax shield?

Answer 1

Answer:

a. $205,236

b. $24,888

Explanation:

a. The computation of OCF is shown below:-

EBIT = Sales - Cost - Depreciation

= $668,600 - $431,300 - $103,700

= $133,600

Net income = EBIT - Taxes

= $133,600 - ($133,600 × 24%)

= $133,600 - $32,064

= $101,536

Operating cash flow = EBIT - Taxes + Depreciation

= $133,600 - $32,064 + $103,700

= $205,236

b. The computation of depreciation tax shield is shown below:-

Depreciation tax shield = Depreciation × Tax

= $103,700 × 24%

= $24,888
