Hi Mr John At the question 32 ( Drink Co) on ACCA past exams . I don't understand why they count to year 5 , not 4 year when it shows " expected life is 4 years" in the question . Thank you

The flows from the machine last for 4 years but because the tax is one year later, so the tax flows occur at time 5 also. The service costs are $23,000 per year. They are tax allowable and so they give risk to a tax saving of 30% x 23,000 = $6,900. Have you watched my free lectures on lease and buy, and on investment appraisal with tax?
