Question

A capital investment project is expected to generate an incremental increase in revenues of $15 million and an incremental increase in operating costs of $10 million during its first year. Year 1 incremental depreciation expense is $5 million. The firm’s interest expense will increase by $2 million during year 1. If the firm’s marginal tax rate is 35% what is the year 1 incremental after-tax cash flow for capital budgeting purposes?
