Concept explainers
Frontier does not have publicly traded stock. You make an estimate of the value of the company based on the following assumptions that will later be included in the reporting unit valuation procedure:
a. Frontier will provide operating cash flows, net of tax, of $150,000 during the next fiscal year.
b. Operating cash flows will increase at the rate of 10% per year for the next four fiscal years and then will remain steady for 15 more years.
c. Cash flows, defined as net of cash from operations less capital expenditures, will be discounted at an after-tax discount rate of 12%. An annual rate of 12% is a reasonable risk-adjusted
d. Added capital expenditures will be $100,000 in year 5, $120,000 in year 10, and $130,000 in year 15.
e. An estimate of salvage value (net of the tax effect of gains or losses) of the assets after 20 years is estimated to be $300,000. This is a conservative assumption since the unit may be operated after that period.
Required 1. Prepare a schedule of net-of-tax cash Rows For Frontier and discount them to present value

- 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?
