A proposed new project has projected sales of $132,000, costs of $66,000, and depreciation of $13,500. The tax rate is 30%. Calculate operating cash flow using the four different approaches. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Approaches:
EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes
Operating cash flow $
Top-down
Operating cash flow $
Tax-shield
Operating cash flow $
Bottom-up
Operating cash flow $
Is the answer the same in each case? Yes or No?

Operating cash flow $ _50,250__

Yes, the answer is same in each case

Explanation:

a)   EBIT + Depreciation - Tax

= ($132,000-$66,000-$13,500) + $13,500 - Tax

= $52,500 + $13,500-(30% x $52,500)

=$52,500 + $13,500-15,750

EBIT + Depreciation - Tax=$50,250

b)Top down OCF = EBIT - (EBIT x Tax) + Depreciation  

Top down OCF = $52,500  - ($52,500 x 30%) +  $13,500  

Top down OCF = $52,500 -15,750 + $13,500

Top down OCF =$50,250

Tax shield OCF =(Sales - Cost)(1-t) + Depreciation (t)

Tax shield OCF = ($132,000-$66,000) (1-0.30) + ($13,500 x0.30)  

Tax shield OCF =$66,000 x 0.7 + 4,050

Tax shield OCF = 46,200+ 4,050

Tax shield OCF = $50,250

Bottom Up OCF = Net Income + Dep

Bottom Up OCF =($132,000-$66,000-$13,500 ) - Tax ) + Dep

Bottom Up OCF = $52,500-(0.3 x $52,500 )+ $13,500

Bottom Up OCF = $52,500 -15,750 + $13,500

Bottom Up OCF =$50,250
