FINA 2201 Chapter Notes - Chapter 12: Cash Flow, Sunk Costs, Fixed Asset
Document Summary
A typical project will require the firm to spend money upfront at t=0 to make the necessary investments in fixed assets and net operating working capital. The first bracketed term in the free cash flow equation [ebit(1 t) + depreciation and amortization] represents the project"s operating cash flows the company sells the project"s fixed assets and inventory and receives cash. The price that the company receives for a fixed asset at the end of the project is often referred to as its salvage value. Taxes paid on salvaged assets=tax rate*(salvage value-book value) book value equals the initial price for the asset minus the asset"s total accumulated depreciation. Timing of cash flows generally assume that all cash flows occur at the end of the year. Incremental cash flows are flows that will occur if and only if some specific event occurs.
