CALCULATE/SUMMARIZE THE INCREMENTAL AFTER-TAX CASH FLOW (RELEVANT CASH FLOWS) FOR YEARS t=0 THROUGH t=5
please show all work and steps to solution. Thanks!
Explanation / Answer
The asset has an 8-year useful life and we want to find the BV of the asset after 5 years. With straight-line depreciation, the depreciation each year will be:
Annual depreciation = $780,000 / 8
Annual depreciation = $97,500
So, after five years, the accumulated depreciation will be:
Accumulated depreciation = 5($97,500)
Accumulated depreciation = $487,500
The book value at the end of year five is thus:
BV5 = $780,000
