Dear Sir,
When calculating the NPV of cash flow in “Buy” option taxation has been included as saving as well as the Tax on capital allowance.
Am I right to say that when calculating the “Buy”option only the capital allowance taxation should be considered?
Cost of Machine 320,000
Annual cost 25,000
Tax 30%
Depreciation reducing balance 25%
Scrap value 50,000
tax pay one year in arrears
Project 3 yearsBook answer:
Cost: as above (no problem with those)
Taxation for year 2 year 3 and year 4 8 each year (why???)
Tax allowable dep year 2 = 24 / year 3 = 18 and year 4= 39 (no problem with those)I don t understand why the 30% tax on 25000 has been included as saving
Could you please help?
Thanks in advance
Gabriella

Thanks for your explanation.
I have another questionLet say that I have to calculate the sensitivity of variable cost (10,000) and contribution (7,000) tax @ 30%.
Am I right if I calculate as below:
PV of variable cost is 7,000 (10,000- 3000 tax saving)
PV contribution is 4900 (7000 – 2100 tax paid)Thanks in advance
