After Tax Analysis 1. Determine Taxable Income: ( + ) Income ( - ) Expenses ( - ) Interest Paid ( - ) Depreciation (Not a real cash flow) 2. Determine Taxes • Use the marginal tax rate 3. Determine After Tax Cash Flow ( + ) Income ( - ) Expenses ( - ) Loan Payments ( - ) Tax cash flow After Tax Analysis Example: Determine year 1 cash flows with marginal tax rate of 39%: Gross Income = $7,000 Cost of Goods Sold = $1,000 Operating Expense = $3,000 Depreciation Charge = $2,000 Loan Payment = $2,802 Interest Expense = $1,200 Sale of Asset 1. End of the year taxable income from sale = Sale Price – Book Value 2. Tax cash flow from sale of the asset = taxable income from sale x marginal tax rate 3. After tax cash flow = sale price – tax cash flow from sale of the asset Early Sale of Asset Half Year Convention: 1. It is assumed that an asset is put into service half-way through the initial year – so only ½ year of depreciation may be claimed in Year 1. • MACRS table takes care of this, automatically 2. If selling an asset before the final year of MACRS depreciation, only ½ year of depreciation may be claimed in that year … • • Reduce depreciation amount by ½, and… Increase book value by ½ depreciation amount Sale of Asset Example A machine was purchased on January 1, 1999, for $10,000. It has been depreciated using the MACRS 5 year schedule. It can be sold for $8,000 on December 31, 2001. Determine the After Tax Cash Flow (ATCF) for the sale of the machine. The marginal tax rate is 35%. Sale of Asset Example with a Twist - 1! A machine was purchased on January 1, 1999, for $10,000. It has been depreciated using the MACRS 5 year schedule.
