Hi tutor, I have a question_Vogel Co (Jun 14).
Question: Note (vi): "claim 10% tax allowable depreciation on its non?current assets. It can be assumed that the amount of tax allowable depreciation is the same as the investment needed to maintain Ndege Co’s operations".
I think that the tax allowable depreciation should be plus rather than less and its position should be under tax. Please, explain why the answer has deducted the tax allowable depreciation.
Thanks tutor a lot

3y ago#1I explain this in my free lectures because it is something that the examiner write in most investment appraisal questions. Have you watched the lectures?
Although the TAD is not a cash flow (and therefore if it has been subtracted to calculate the tax, it would then we added back), there is the same amount spent on maintaining the assets and this is a cash flow. So there is no need to add it back.
It is clear, thanks tutor a lot.
Hi John / Tutor, In this question it says that Ndedge (Department B) will retain the 7 unsecured bond.
Why is this not included in the valuation for T0 free cashflow.
I am using the free cashflow to the firm approach to value department B
I adjusted PBITD to $13.46m
I have included the TAD of $3.93m
The solution dose not include a finance cost of $2.8m (Interest on the bond of 7% by $40m) to arrive at the PBT why is that?
Thanks,
Adam

Have you watched my free lectures on this?
