Answer 1

Answer:

Adjusted accounting profit - $63,200

Cash inflow / Outflow - $63,200

Depreciation Tax shield - $63,200

Explanation:

Revenue - $188,000

Variable cost ($57,000)

Contribution                                             $131,000

Rental cost  ($37,000)

Depreciation (17,000)

                                                                  ($54,000)

PBIT                                                              77,000        

Income Tax (40%)                                        (30,800)

Net Income                                                   46,200

A) Adjusted Accounting profit

Add back non cash expenses (depreciation) = 46,200+$17000 =$63,200

B)Cash Inflow/Outflow

Revenue                                        $188,000

Variable cost                                   (57,000)

Rental cost                                       (37000)

Income Tax                                      (30,800)

                                                         $63,200

C Depreciation Tax Shield

Tax shield =40%*17,000= $6800

Cash income from operation (EBITDA*(1-tax rate) = 56,400

Add back $6,800 =                                                           6,800

                                                                                           $63,200
