Expert verified

The cash flow of the Rogers Corporation is $600,000, and the cash flow of the Evans Corporation is $480,000. In addition, the difference in the cash flow is due to tax savings on the depreciation.

Step by step solution

Net profit after tax of the Rogers Corporation

$N e t p r o f i t a f t e r t a x = (G r o s s p r o f i t - d e p r i c i a t i o n - s e l l i n g a n d a d m i n i s t r a t i v e e x p e n x s e) (1 - T a x) = ($ 880, 000 - $ 360, 000 - $ 120, 000) (1 - 0.40) = $ 240, 000$

Cash flow of the Rogers Corporation

$C a s h f l o w = N e t p r o f i t a f t e r t a x + d e p r i c i a t i o n = $ 240, 000 + $ 360.000 = $ 600, 000$

Net profit after tax of the Evans Corporation

$N e t p r o f i t a f t e r t a x = (G r o s s p r o f i t - d e p r i c i a t i o n - s e l l i n g a n d a d m i n i s t r a t i v e e x p e n x s e) (1 - T a x) = ($ 880, 000 - $ 60, 000 - $ 120, 000) (1 - 0.40) = $ 420, 000$

Cash flow of the Rogers Corporation

$C a s h f l o w = N e t p r o f i t a f t e r t a x + d e p r e c i a t i o n = $ 420, 000 + $ 60, 000 = $ 480, 000$

Explanation for change in the cash flow of two companies

The cash flow of both companies is different because of the depreciation. Depreciation is a non-cash transaction, but the tax savings due to depreciation are treated as the cash inflow for the company. In the given case, the depreciation of both the companies is different, and because of this reason, the cash flow is different.
