32. Fletcher Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. The equipment will

have an initial cost of $400,000, a 5-year life, and a salvage value of $75,000. If the

accounting rate of return for the project is 10%, what is the annual increase in net cash flow?

Ignore income taxes.

A. $25,000

B. $40,000

C. $65,000

Work backwards to solve for the increase in cash flows. First calculate annual depreciation

expense to be $65,000. [($400,000 - $75,000)/5 = $65,000] Net income ($400,000) multiplied

by the accounting rate of return (10%) is $40,000. [$400,000 × 10% = $40,000] Thus, the

annual increase in net cash flow equals $105,000, the sum of depreciation expense and the

increase in net income. [$65,000 + $40,000 = $105,000]

the accounting rate of return (5%) is $45,000. [$900,000 × 5% = $45,000] Thus, the annual
