    Initial outlay = $60,000

    Annual net income before tax = $7,200 per annum

    Depreciation = Cost - Residual value

    Estimated useful life

    = $60,000 - 0

    12 years

    = $5,000 per annum

    Annual net cashflow before tax

    = Annual net income before tax + Depreciation

    = $7,200 + $5,000

    = $12,200

    Explanation:

    In this case, the annual net income before tax has been given. The annual net income before tax has excluded depreciation, which does not involve movement of cash. Therefore, we need to add back depreciation in order to obtain the expected before tax cashflow.
