*These percentages have been rounded to the nearest whole percent to simplify calculations while retaining realism. To calculate the actual depreciation for tax purposes, be sure to apply the actual unrounded percentages or directly apply double-declining balance (200%) depreciation using the half-year convention.

Explanation / Answer

Sales revenue $416,000
Less: Total costs before depreciation, interest, and taxes $293,000
Depreciation expense:
Original cost=$174,000
Year   Depreciation(%)   Depreciation   Ending Book Value
1   20%   34,800.00    139,200.00
2   32%   44,544.00    94,656.00
3   19%   17,984.64    76,671.36
4   12%   9,200.56    67,470.80
5   12%   8,096.50    59,374.30
6   5%   2,968.72    56,405.59

For 3rd year it is $17,985.64

Earnings before interes and taxes= 416000-293000-17985.64=$105,014.36
Less: Taxes at 40%: (0.4*105014.36)=$42,005.74
Net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT)=$63,008.62
Plus: Depreciation =17985.64
Operating Cash Flow (OCF) =$80,994.26
