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
