For year 2, calculate: (a) before tax cash flow (BTCF) (b) taxable income (c) taxes due (d) after tax cash flow (ATCF)

The Scampini Supplies Company recently purchased a new delivery truck. The new truck cost $22,500, and it is expected to generate net after-tax operating cash flows, including depreciation, of $6,250 per year. The truck has a 5-year expected life. The expected salvage values after tax adjustments for the truck are given here. The company’s cost of capital is 10%. Should the firm operate the truck until the end of its 5-year physical life? If not, then what is its optimal economic life? Would the introduction of salvage values, in addition to operating cash flows, ever reduce the expected NPV and/or IRR of a project?
The Berndt Corporation expects to have sales of 12 million. Costs other than depreciation are expected to be 75% of sales, and depreciation is expected to be 1.5 million. All sales revenues will be collected in cash, and costs other than depreciation must be paid for during the year. Berndts federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%. Berndt has no debt. a. Set up an income statement. What is Berndts expected net income? Its expected net cash flow? b. Suppose Congress changed the tax laws so that Berndts depreciation expenses doubled. No changes in operations occurred. What would happen to reported profit and to net cash flow? c. Now suppose that Congress changed the tax laws such that, instead of doubling Berndts depreciation, it was reduced by 50%. How would profit and net cash flow be affected? d. If this were your company, would you prefer Congress to cause your depreciation expense to be doubled or halved? Why?
