11ea7fdb_fc80_b4c9_a768_83156a9933e6_TB2902_00 EBIT = Revenues - Expenses - Depr
Revenues = $2,000,000
Expenses = $800,000
Depr = 0.095 × 2,200,000 = $209,000
EBIT = 2,000,000 - 800,000 - 209,000 = $991,000
NOPAT = EBIT × (1 - T)
NOPAT = 991,000 × (1 - 0.35) = $644,150
OCF = NOPAT + Depreciation
OCF = 644,150 + 209,000 = $853,150
Net Salvage = Salvage - T × (Salvage - Book Value)
Net Salvage = $1,000,000 - ($1,000,000 - $1,881,000) × 0.35 = $1,308,350
Terminal Cash Flows = OCF + (Decrease in net working capital) + (Net salvage plant)
Terminal Cash Flows = 853,150 + 20,000 + 1,308,350 = $2,181,500
