Question

ou are trying to decide whether to accept or reject a one-year project. The project is estimated to generate $5,000 in incremental gross profit, which includes $200 in depreciation. Incremental SG&A expense is $400. At a 35% tax rate, the after-tax incremental cash flow is:

Answer 1

Answer:

$3,190

Explanation:

Incremental net income before tax = Incremental gross profit - Incremental SG&A expenses

= $5,000 - $400

= $4,600

Incremental net income after taxes = Incremental net income before tax * (1 - Tax rate)

Incremental net income after taxes = $4,600 * (1 - 0.35)

Incremental net income before tax = $4,600 * 0.65

Incremental net income before tax = $2990

Incremental cash flow = Incremental income after taxes + Depreciation

Incremental cash flow = $2,990 + $200

Incremental cash flow = $3,190
