Annala Corporation is considering a capital budgeting project that would require investing
$80,000 in equipment with an expected life of 4 years and zero salvage value. Annual incremental
sales would be $250,000 and annual incremental cash operating expenses would be $180,000. The
project would also require an immediate investment in working capital of $20,000 which would be
released for use elsewhere at the end of the project. The company’s income tax rate is 30% and its
after-tax discount rate is 13%. The company uses straight-line depreciation. Assume cash flows
occur at the end of the year except for the initial investments. The company takes income taxes into
account in its capital budgeting.
109) The income tax expense in year 2 is:
A) $75,000
B) $54,000
C) $6,000
D) $15,000
