Answer 1

Answer:Year 4 Cash flow =$65,151.----E

Explanation:

Salvage value of the equipment =$5,880

Book value at end of project  before sale = $4,940

Gain on disposal = $940

tax gain non disposal = 35% of $940 =0.35 x 940= $329

Amount after tax salvage value = $5,880 - $329=$5,551

Year 4 Cash flow = Operating cash flow +Net working capital +Amount after tax salvage value = $55,000 + $4,600 +$5551= $65,151.
