Explanation / Answer

21.

Change in working capital in year 1 is $0, so it will not affect net cash flow for year 1, from the change in net working capital expected to be at time 1.

No effect .

22.

Purchase price = $120,000

Book Value of equipment at end of year 3 = 5% of purchase price

Book Value of equipment at end of year 3 = 5% × $120,000

= $6,000.

Book Value of equipment at end of year 3 is $6,000.

Sale price = $10,000.

After tax cash flow = $6,000 + ($10,000 - $6,000) × (1 - 20%)

= $6,000 + $3,200

= $9,200

After tax cash flow from sale of equipment at end of year 3 will be $9,200.
