Adriel Frey · Answer 1

a. $30,258

Explanation:

Net income = (sales - operation cost - depreciation) * (1 - tax rate)

cash flow = net income + Depreciation

depreciation = 33%*65000

= 21,450

Net income = (60,000 - 25000 - 21450) * (1 - 0.35)

= 8807.5

Cash flow = 8807.5 + 21450

= $30,257.5

therefore, The Year 1 cash flow is $30,257.5
