12.You have the following revenues and expenses for year 4 of a 5 year project:

Revenues $2000
Operating Expenses $1000
Depreciation Expense $1500

Your equipment has one year of straight-line depreciation left on it (year 5), but you have received an offer to buy it for $2500. You think this is a good offer, but you need to determine what your net after-tax cash flow this year will be if you accept it. Your company's tax rate is 40%. You have no other income besides this project this year, if you sell the machine, what will your net after-tax cashflow be for the year? (7 pts)

The machine has a Book Value of $1500 since it has 1 year of depreciation expense left. The capital gain on the machine will be $2500-$1500=$1000. This will go with the rest of the cash flows:
 

Rev 2000
- Exp 1000
- Depr 1500
= Op Income -500
+ Income from Sale  1000
=Total Income 500
- Tax (40%) 200
= AT Income 300
+ Depr 1500
+ Rest of CF from Sale 1500
= Total AT CF 3300

The other way is to just take the CF's and subtract the tax you computed:

Operating CF + CF from Sale - Tax = 1000+2500-200=$3300.
