The Wet Corp. has an investment project that will reduce expenses by $25,000 per year for 3 years. The project's cost is $20,000. If the asset is part of the 3-year MACRS category (33.33% first year depreciation) and the company's combined tax rate is 25%, what is the cash flow from the project in year 1? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.) $19,866 $21,196 $20,416 $21,876

c. $20,416.50

Explanation:

Cost of assets = 20,000

Depreciation year 1 = 33% * 20,000 = $6,666

Annual cost saving = 25,000

Tax rate = 25%

Operating cash flow Year 1 = Cost saving*(1 - tax) + Tax*Depreciation

Operating cash flow Year 1 = 25,000*(1-0.25) + 0.25*6,666

Operating cash flow Year 1 = 25,000*0.75 + 0.25*6,666

Operating cash flow Year 1 = 18750 + 1666.5

Operating cash flow Year 1 = $20,416.5

So, the cash-flow from the project in year 1 is $20,416.50
