Answer to Questions
1. The only way depreciation generates cash flows for the company is by serving
as a tax shield against reported income. This non-cash deduction may provide
cash flow equal to the tax rate times the depreciation charged. This much in
taxes will be saved, while no cash payments occur.
Answer to Problems
Note: The problem did not indicate whether the cash flows from investing and
financing activities represented net inflow or outflow. It is assumed that following
normal course of operations, investments will represent usage or outflow of cash and
financing will represent sourcing or inflow of cash. Hence since the cash account
posted a net increase of ₱75,000, operating activities must have used up a net cash
flow of ₱817,000.
EBIT ₱62,000,000
Less: Taxes 17,000,000
EAT ₱45,000,000
Add: Depreciation 5,000,000
Operating Cash Flow ₱50,000,000
7-1
Free Cash Flow = Operating cash flow – Investment in operating capital
= ₱50,000,000 – [₱32,000,000 + (₱20,000,000 −₱12,000,000)]
Free Cash Flow = ₱50,000,000 − ₱40,000,000 = ₱10,000,000
EBIT ₱45,000,000
Less: Taxes 17,000,000
EAT ₱28,000,000
Add: Depreciation 8,000,000
Operating Cash Flow ₱36,000,000
