Explanation / Answer

What is the project's operating cash flow for the first year (t = 1)? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Project's operating cash flow for the first year (t = 1) = $ 2,600,000

If this project would cannibalize other projects by $1 million of cash flow before taxes per year, how would this change your answer to part a? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

The firm's OCF would now be = Expected Operating cash flow - Oppurtunity cash flow lost

The firm's OCF would now be = 2600000 - (1000000*(1-40%))

The firm's OCF would now be = $ 2,000,000

If the tax rate dropped to 35%, how would that change your answer to part a?

The firm's operating cash flow would increase = 2650000 -2600000

The firm's operating cash flow would increase = $ 50000
