    Should we include the before-tax PV of Cash flows or after-tax PV of Cash flows to calculate the sensitivity of sales?

    I know that Contribution should be after-tax (tax should be deducted) but what about PV of other Cash Flows?

    I had a question in the exam where after-tax sales were being given with the tax rate of 30% & we were asked to calculate sensitivity analysis of Sales. So I could not understand that why do we take the after-tax sales for calculation because tax is charged on operating profits or contribution but not on sales!!!

    Please tell me what is the way that we calculate? I know that somebody asked you this before but I could not understand your answer on another thread.

    You do calculate it on the after-tax sales.

    If the sales revenue falls by $1, then the profit will fall by $1 as well. If the profit falls by $1 then the tax will fall by 30% x $1.

    Therefore the net cash flow will fall by $1 – $0.30 = $0.70 (of 70% of the sales)
