Mila Esparza · Answer 1

Initial cost of machine = 10200000 + 53000 = $10,205,300

Annual depreciation = Initial cost of machine : depreciable life

= $10,205,300 : 5

= $2,041,060

Now, we'll compute incremental free cash flow as follow:

Incremental free cash flow = After tax incremental income + depreciation

where;

After tax incremental income = (Incremental revenues - Incremental costs - Annual depreciation) * (1 - tax rate)

After tax incremental income = (4,200,000 - 1,400,000 - 2,041,060) * (1 - 35%)

= $493,311

∴ Incremental free cash flow = $493,311 + 2,041,060

= $2,534,371
