b. $14,438
c. $15,525
d. $16,457

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

EBIT = Sales revenues - Depreciation - Other operating costs

        = $39,500 - $10,000 - $17,000

        = $12,500

EBT/PBT = EBIT - Interest expense

               = $12,500 - $4,000

               = $8,500

PAT = EBT - Tax rate

      = $8,500 - 35% of $8,500

      = $8,500 - $2,975

      = $5,525

CFAT = PAT + Depreciation

         = $5,525 + $10,000

         = $15,525

Therefore, the Year 1 cash flow is $15,525.
