The rogers corporation has a gross profit of $704,000 and $333,000 in depreciation expense. the evans corporation also has $704,000 in gross profit, with $49,300 in depreciation expense. selling and administrative expense is $191,000 for each company.

a. given that the tax rate is 40 percent, compute the cash flow for both companies.

cash flow rogers=
cash flow evans=

b. calculate the difference in cash flow between the two firms.

a. Cash Flow Rogers =  $441,000

Cash Flow Evans = $327,520

b. $113,480

Explanation:

The computation of the cash flow for both companies are shown below:

a. For Cash Flow Rogers

= Gross profit - Selling and administrative expense - income tax expense + depreciation expense × tax rate

where,  

Income tax expense = (Gross profit - Selling and administrative expense) × income tax rate  

= ($704,000 - $191,000) × 40%  

= $205,200

And, the other items values would remain the same

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $704,000 - $191,000 - $205,200 + $333,000 × 40%

= $307,800 + $133,200

= $441,000

For Cash Flow Evans

= Gross profit - Selling and administrative expense - income tax expense + depreciation expense × tax rate

where,  

Income tax expense = (Gross profit - Selling and administrative expense) × income tax rate  

= ($704,000 - $191,000) × 40%  

= $205,200

And, the other items values would remain the same

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $704,000 - $191,000 - $205,200 + $49,300 × 40%

= $307,800 + $19,720

= $327,520

b. The computation of the difference in cash flow between the two firms are shown below:

= Cash Flow Rogers - Cash Flow Evans

= $441,000 -  $327,520

= $113,480
