Answer:

tax shield year 2 95,200

Explanation:

The tax shield will be the depreciation expense times tax rate

<u>Our first step is to calculate the depreciation expense:</u>

The equipment is worth 1.4 million and has a 5-years useful life

It is being depreciate on straight-line

depreciation per year

equipment / useful life

1.4 million / 5 = 0.28 = 280,000

<u>Now we apply the tax rate of 34%</u>

280,000 x 34% = 95,200

This will be the tax shield on Year 2

Maslowich

Answer:

$132,745.82

Explanation:

required investment = $290,000 + $49,000 + $5,900 + $59,000 =  $403,900

depreciable amount = $49,000 + $5,900 = $54,900

Research and development costs are expensed, they cannot be capitalized. Increase in net working capital cannot be capitalized either.

MACRS depreciation expense for year 1 under 8 year class life = 14.29%

depreciation expense year 1 = $54,900 x 14.29% = $7,845.21

net cash flow year 1 = [($390,000 - $190,000 - $7,845.21) x (1 - 35%)] + $7,845.21 = ($192,154.79 x 0.65) + $7,845.21 = $124,900.61 + $7,845.21 = $132,745.82

Which of the following statements abouot the declaration and payment of cash dividends is correct?
padilas [110]

Answer: C. Declaration and payment of cash dividends will reduce the amount of cash available to invest in assets.

Explanation:

When a company pays out Dividends it gives out money to it's shareholders and this has the effect of decreasing the cash balance that the company has.

This is cash that could have gone into investing and expanding the business but instead has gone to shareholders. Dividends therefore reduce the money available for investments.

It is for this reason that Growth Companies do not pay much dividends as they keep reinvesting profits to increase capacity and this usually adds value to the company and increases their stock price within a shorter period of time.
