    Your approach to dealing with the tax is fine, but you have made a mistake in arriving at your taxable profit.

    For example, at time 1 you should have got 7462400 – 1500000 = 900000 = 5062400.
    I don’t know how you have arrived at your figures.

    The question implies that the fixed costs are those of the new facility and are therefore additional fixed costs and so are relevant.
