eBook: The Income Statement

Butterfly Tractors had $20.50 million in sales last year. Cost of goods sold was $9.30 million, depreciation expense was $3.30 million, interest payment on outstanding debt was $2.30 million, and the firm’s tax rate was 30%.

Explanation / Answer

The net income is the difference between Sales and all operating expenses and interest and tax expenses. The tax on net income is calculated on Net income after interest expense. The calculation of net income after tax is as under:

Net cash flows are the net income increased by the amount of depreciation. The tax on income is the cash outflow of the company therefore it will be included in calculation of net cash flows.

b.

If deprecation increases by $2.30 million then the net income will decreases by $1.61 that is depreciation after tax [$2.30(1-0.30)] calculated as under:

The depreciation will be added back to the net income for calculation of net cash flow therefore net cash flow will increase by $0.69 million [(Tax on increased depreciation i.e. $2.3 million(1-0.30)].

Net income Decreases by $1.61 million.

Net cash flow increased by $0.69 million.

c.

If interest expenses increases by $2.30 million then the net income will decreases by $1.61 that is increased interest after tax [$2.30(1-0.30)] calculated as under:

The net cash flow will also reduced by $1.61 million due to reduced net income.

Net income Decreases by $1.61 million.

Net cash flow increased by $1.61 million.
