The cash flows at time 10 is arrived at as follows: Net operating inflow: 2,000 x (500 -450) = 100,000 Tax on operating flow: 40% x 100,000 = (40,000) Scrap proceeds: 5,000 Tax on balancing charge: 40% x 5,000 = (2,000) Giving a net cash flows of $63,000 Have you watched my free lectures on investment appraisal?
