Answer 1

Answer:

Sales Revenue            212,000

Variable Cost               (63,000)

Rent Expense               (43,000)

Depreciation Expense (23,000)

Income before taxes     83,000

Income tax expense    (16,600)  

Net Income                    84,800

Cash from operating activities 107,800

tax-shield from depreciation 4,600

Explanation:

Cash flow from operations (indirect method)

net income 84,800 + depreciation expense = 107,800

The depreciation provides a tax shield as they are an accounting concept. The depreciation expense did not involve the outflow of cash but, it is a taxable deduction therefore generates a tax-shield.

23,000 x 20% = 4,600
