A proposed new project has projected sales of $222,000, costs of $96,500, and depreciation of $26,100. The tax rate is 24 percent. Calculate operating cash flow using the four different approaches. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)A. EBIT+Depreciation-TaxesB. Top-DownC. Tax-ShieldD. Bottom-Up

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Sales = $222,000

Less: Cost = $96,500

Less: Depreciation = $26100

EBIT = $99400

Less: Tax = 24% × $99400 = $23856

Net income = $75544

A. EBIT+Depreciation-Taxes

EBIT = $99400

Add: Depreciation = $26100

Less: Tax = $23856

Operating cashflow = $101644

B. Top-Down

= EBIT(1 - t) + Depreciation

= $99400(1 - 0.24) + $26100

= $75544 + $26100

= $101644

C. Tax-Shield

= (Sales - Cost)(1-t) + Depreciation (t)

= ($222000 - $96500)(1 - 0.24) + $26100(0.24)

= ($125500 × 0.76) + $6264

= $95380 + $6264

= $101644

D. Bottom-Up

= Net income + Depreciation

= $75544 + $26100

= $101644
