The present worth of the first 4 year of after tax cash flow from the barge.

Answer to Problem 39P
The present worth of the first 4 year of after tax cash flow from the barge is $5815022.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Cost of the barge is $13.2 million.
Expected income from the barge is $7.5 million for the first year.
Growth in income is $1 million per year.
Expenses for the first year is $2.6 million.
Growth in expenses is $400,000 per year.
The tax rate is 38%.
MARR is 12%.
Concept used:
Write the equation for the base book value.
(Base book value)nth year=[(Book value)(n−1)th year−((MACRS rate)×(Book value)(n−1)th year)]
Write the formula to calculate the taxable income.
TI=BTCF−DI
Here, the taxable income is TI, the depreciation is DI and the before tax cash flow is BTCF.
Write the formula to calculate the taxable amount.
TAX=0.38×TI
Here, the taxable amount is TAX.
Write the formula to calculate the after tax cash flow.
ATCF=TAX+BTCF
Here, the after tax cash flow is ATCF.
Calculation:
The projected revenue for the first year is $7,500,000.
The revenue of the project is growing $1,000,000 for each year.
Calculate the project revenue for second year.
Revenue2nd=Revenue1st+$1000000=$7500000+$1000000=$8500000
Calculate the project revenue for third year.
Revenue3rd=Revenue2nd+$1000000=$8500000+$1000000=$9500000
Calculate the project revenue for fourth year.
Revenue4th=Revenue3rd+$1000000=$9500000+$1000000=$10500000
The operating and maintenance cost for first year is $2,600,000.
The expenses of operating and maintenance cost is increasing by $400,000 for each year.
Calculate the operating and maintenance cost for second year.
(Operating and Maintenance cost)2nd=[(Operating and Maintenance cost)1st+$400000]=$2600000+$400000=$3000000
Calculate the operating and maintenance cost for third year.
(Operating and Maintenance cost)3rd=[(Operating and Maintenance cost)2nd+$400000]=$3000000+$400000=$3400000
Calculate the operating and maintenance cost for fourth year.
(Operating and Maintenance cost)4th=[(Operating and Maintenance cost)3rd+$400000]=$3400000+$400000=$3800000
Calculate the net revenue as shown in table below.
Year | Projected revenue (a) | Operating and maintenance cost (b) | Net revenue (a−b) |
1 | $7500000 | $2600000 | $4900000 |
2 | $8500000 | $3000000 | $5500000 |
3 | $9500000 | $3400000 | $6100000 |
4 | $10500000 | $3800000 | $6700000 |
Calculate the book value by using MACRS percentage rate as shown in table below.
Year | MACR rate (a) | Base book value (b) | Depreciation charge (a×b) | Net book value b−(a×b) |
1 | 10% | $13200000 | $1320000 | $11880000 |
2 | 18% | $11880000 | $2138400 | $9741600 |
3 | 14.40% | $9741600 | $1402790.4 | $8338809.6 |
4 | 11.52 | $8338809.6 | $960630.9 | $7378178.7 |
Calculate the gain on the salvage value as shown below.
Gain=(Expected salvage value−Net book value after 3 year)
Substitute $0 for expected salvage value and $7378178.7 for net book value.
Gain=($0−$7378178.7)=−$7378178.7
Calculate the tax effect as shown below.
Tax effect=Gain×Tax rate
Substitute −$7378178.7 for Gain and 38% for Tax rate.
Tax effect=−$7378178.7×0.38=−$2803707.9
Calculate the net salvage value after fourth year as shown below.
Net salvage value=Expected salvage value−Tax effect
Substitute $0 for expected salvage value and −$2803707.9 for tax effect.
Net salvage value=$0−(−$2803707.9)=$2803707.9
Take before tax cash flow for the first year is $4900000.
Calculate the taxable income for the first year.
Taxable income= Before tax cash flow− depreciation
Substitute $4900000 for before tax cash flow and $1320000 for depreciation.
Taxable income= $4900000−$1320000=$3580000
Calculate income tax for first year as shown below.
Income tax=38% of taxable income
Substitute $3580000 for taxable income.
Income tax=0.38×$3580000=$1360400
Calculate the after tax cash flow for the first year as shown below.
After tax cash flow=Before tax cash flow+Income tax
Substitute $4900000 for before tax cash flow and $1360400 for income tax.
After tax cash flow=$4900000+$1360400=$6260400
Calculate the after tax cash flow as shown in table below for all the subsequent years.
Year | BTCF | Depreciation | Taxable income | Income tax | ATCF |
0 | −$13200000 | −$13200000 | |||
1 | $4900000 | $1320000 | $3580000 | $1360400 | $6260400 |
2 | $5500000 | $2138400 | $3361600 | $1277408 | $6777408 |
3 | $6100000 | $1402790.4 | $4697210 | $1784939.65 | $7884939.65 |
4 | $6700000 | $960630.9 | $5739369 | $2180960.26 | $8880960.26 |
Write the equation for present worth factor of annuity (PW).
PW=D+A(PA, i, n)+F(PF, i, n)=D+A((1+i)n−1i(1+i)n)+F(1(1+i)n)
Here, the present worth is PW, initial payment is D, present value of money is P, interest rate is i, the after tax cash flow is A, the net salvage amount is F, and the number of year is n.
Substitute −$13200000 for D, $6260400 for A, 12% for i, 4 years for n and $0 for F.
PW=(−$13200000+$6260400((1+0.12)4−10.12(1+0.12)4)+$0(1(1+0.12)4))=(−$13200000+$6260400(3.037))=(−$13200000+$19015022)=$5815022.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the present worth of the first 4 year of after tax cash flow is, $5815022.

Political scientists Bethany Albertson and Adria Lawrence (2009) conducted an experiment in which they randomly assigned people to treatment and control groups to evaluate the effect of watching TV on a person’s information level. Those assigned to the treatment group were told to watch a specific television broadcast and were later asked questions related to what they watched. Those in the controlgroup were not shown the TV broadcast but were asked questions related to the material in the TV broadcast. The dataset contains the following variables: : Dummy variable which =1 if a person reads news and 0 otherwise. : interest in political affairs (not interested=1 to very interested=4) : years of education : female dummy variable (female=1; male=0) : family income in thousands of dollars : information level (low information level=1 to high information level=4) =1 if the…arrow_forwardProblem 2-Experiments/Randomized Control Trial Suppose you are interested in studying the effect of academic counselling on the years it takes for a student to obtain an undergraduate degree.
