What is the depreciation tax shield? |
Explanation:
The OCF for the company is: |
OCF = EBIT + Depreciation − Taxes |
OCF = $125,700 + 119,400 − 42,738 |
OCF = $202,362 |
The depreciation tax shield is the depreciation times the tax rate, so: |
Depreciation tax shield = T(Depreciation) |
Depreciation tax shield = 0.34($119,400) |
Depreciation tax shield = $40,596 |
The depreciation tax shield shows us the increase in OCF by being able to expense depreciation. |
