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
