So profit is 40 and therefore tax is 12, leaving a net cash flows of 28.Now suppose sales drop by 10%.Sales are 90 costs are still 60. So profit is 30 and therefore tax is 9, leaving a net cash flow of 21.The fall in the profit (7) is the fall in the sales (10) less the tax on the sales (3).So, when looking at the sensitivity of any flow, you need to work out the present value of that flow and any tax affect on that flow.I hope that does make some sense for you 🙂AuthorPostsViewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total)You must be logged in to reply to this topic.Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
