1. Taxing Example
Former English soccer star David Bledham has announced that he will partner with the Martin E. Drey Casting Co. to produce plastic cell phone covers with photos of Mr. Bledham’s 10 most famous head-butts screen printed on them.
To begin production, the business major running the casting company discovers that he needs to purchase an injection molding machine at a cost of $ The machine will require a water line and electrical service to be installed on the plant floor, costing $220. Two journeymen (a plumber and an electrician) will need to work 14.5 hours each to install the lines and set-up the machine, and both charge $48.28 an hour. As a nice inducement to get the job done fast, the Bledham-Drey project will provide a free lunch to these two laborers, at a total cost of $34. Shipping the equipment costs $2 700.
What is the cost basis for this equipment?

2. Cost Basis: costs required to put an asset into productive service
1st Cost $
Shipping $
Installation Labor $ = 2($48.28)(14.5)
Installation Mat’ls $
Total: $
Note: there is no free lunch – not directly required to put into production; and more appropriately taxed on the journeymen’s tax returns.
The cost basis is required to compute depreciation!

3. Taxing Example, cont.
The Bledham-Drey Co. will pay an operator $22.50 / hr and provide benefits of $15 / hr for insurance, etc. The operator will work 40 hrs/wk, for 50 wks/yr, and her salary will inflate at 4% annually.
What are the project operating costs for Years 1 & 2?
The plastic for each cover will require 27g at a cost of $0.07 per gram. Plastic costs will inflate at 8%/yr, and the business major expects to sell covers each year.
What are the cost of goods sold for Years 1 & 2?
This equipment is depreciated on the 7 year MACRS schedule.
What are the depreciation deductions for Years 1 & 2?
If the equipment is sold at the start of Year 3 (Jan. 1), what is it’s book value?

4. Starting to piece together the Net Profit Statement:
1st Year Operation Cost = ($ $15.00)(40)(50)= $75 000
2nd Year Operation Cost = $75 000(1+f )n = $75 000(1+.04)1
= $78 000
1st Year Cost of Goods Sold = (27)($0.07)( )= $
2nd Year Cost of Goods Sold = $ (F/P,8%,1)= $
1st Year Depreciation = (14.3%)($ ) = $20 066
2nd Year Depreciation = (24.5%)($ ) = $34 378
Book Value = ($ ) [1 – ( / 2)] = $73 598

5. Taxing Example
Bledham-Drey takes out an $ loan for 5 years at 12% interest. The interest-only portion of their payments is $ for the first year, and $ in the second.
Find the loan payments if they are made annually.
If the company has revenues of $ in the first year, and $ in the second year, find the ATCF for both years, assuming a marginal tax rate of 39%.
If the company sells the equipment at the start of Year 3 for $ and immediately pays off the $ remainder of the loan, what does the ATCF diagram look like for the whole project?
If the required MARR is 18%, is project worth doing?

6. Computing the Net Profit Statement Components:
Loan payments = $ (A/P,12%,5) = $ each year
1st Year Taxable Income = Revenue – Expenses
= $ – ($ $ $ $20 066)
= $74 234
2nd Year Taxable Income = Revenue – Expenses
= $ – ($ $ $ $34 378)
= $79 256
1st Year Taxes = (39%)($74 234)= $28 951
2nd Year Taxes = (39%)($79 256)= $30 910

7. Completing the Net Profit Statement:
Year 1 Year 2….
Revenues $ $
Expenses
Operations $ $
Cost of Goods Sold $ $
Interest Paid $ $
Depreciation $ $
Taxable Income $ $
Taxes (39% Marginal Rate) $ $
Net Profit (Loss) $ $
Note: This is not actual cash flow ….
See the After Tax Cash Flow, next!

8. Computing the After Tax Cash Flow (ATCF):
1st Year After Tax Cash Flow = Revenue – Real Expenses
= Revenue – Operation – COGS – Loan Pmts – Taxes
=$ – ($ $ $ $28 931)
= – $60 571
2nd Year ATCF = Revenue – Real Expenses
=$ – ($ $ $ $30 910)
= – $58 306
3rd Year Depreciation tax impact = – (Dn)(I)(Marginal Tax Rate)
= (0.5) (17.5%) ($ ) (39%) = – $4 788
Sale of equipment: tax cash flow (Jan 1, Year 3)
(Sale Price – Book Value) (Marginal Tax Rate)
= ($ – $73 598) (.39) = $ 5 617
3rd Year ATCFSale= Sale Price –Tax Cash Flow –Dep. Tax Impact
= $ – $ – (– $ 4 788) = $87 171

9. Completing the ATCF Diagram:
Computing Year 3 Net Cash Flow: ATCFsale – Loan Payoff Cost = $ – $ = – $
Year 0 Net Cash Flow = Loan – Cost Basis
= $ – $ = $
Project After Tax Cash Flow Diagram:
Note: This IS actual cash flow! $ 1 2 3 $ $ $
yrs

10. Computing the Net Present Worth of the ATCF:
NPW = $
– $ (P/F,18%,1)
– $ (P/F,18%,2)
– $ (P/F,18%,3) = $
Since this is greater than $0, we are making more than 18% – so must be worth doing!
But ... what would have been smarter?
