Answer:
a. $205,236
b. $24,888
Explanation:
a. The computation of OCF is shown below:-
EBIT = Sales - Cost - Depreciation
= $668,600 - $431,300 - $103,700
= $133,600
Net income = EBIT - Taxes
= $133,600 - ($133,600 × 24%)
= $133,600 - $32,064
= $101,536
Operating cash flow = EBIT - Taxes + Depreciation
= $133,600 - $32,064 + $103,700
= $205,236
b. The computation of depreciation tax shield is shown below:-
Depreciation tax shield = Depreciation × Tax
= $103,700 × 24%
= $24,888
