    is it possible to get negative cash flow before Tax and how can i deduct tax if it is negative ,

    they give me information if the question for example the first year

    Q – 7500
    revenue – 300
    cost – 90
    fixed cost 000#/per year 3000
    is that mean the fixed cost is 3000 000 ? if that the case there will be negative cash flow ?

    No this is unlikely but if you did have a case of a negative operating cash flow resulting in a tax saving, this is effectively a cash inflow for the project. This means that instead of paying tax, the company benefits from a reduction in its overall tax liability due to the negative cash flow.

    thank you !
    is that mean i did it wrong? Only the fixed cost they’ve mentioned it ($000/a year 3000) if i put 3000000 instead 3000 it will become negative cash flow, and i didn’t know what to do with tax so i consider it Zero in that year , as result i got negative NPV ? will i lose a lot of mark if i every thing else was correct?
    – there was capital working and depreciation and inflation – is all that will be wrong – i don’t want to fail
    section A and B was so hard and most of it theoretic questions so i kind of relay on section C questions

    You will get marked accordingly to OFR
    So if you made a mistake the marker will follow the error through.
    You will receive partial credit for those components.
