1.) BJR Food Corporation is forecasting the following income statement for the firm's upcoming fiscal year:
Sales $95,000,000
Operating Expenses 50,000,000
Depreciation Expense 10,000,000
Operating Income $35,000,000
Interest Expense 5,000,000
Other Expenses 1,500,000
Pre Tax Income $28,500,000
Taxes (25%) 7,125,000
Net Income $21,375,000
Assume that with the exception of Depreciation, all items are cash. Congress is considering a proposal to allow accelerated depreciation on a type of equipment that BJR Food uses in their production process. If this provision were to be put in place, depreciation expense would increase by $3,500,000 (tax rate would stay the same). What would be the effect on the firm's cash flow if this proposal were to be enacted?
