a. $258,000

Explanation:

The organization expense ($8,000) is a capital expense and therefore is an enduring benefit for the organization. Capital expenditure is added back while calculating the E & P. Moreover, any organizational cost are treated as capital expenditure and these costs are written off in the E & P only when the organization is not anymore a going concern.

Going Concern is an assumption whereby an organization will continue to operate indefinitely.

A. 258,000

Explanation:

Falcon Corporaton's taxable income for its first year of operation= $250,000Formation Expenses fo Falcon Corporaton = $50,000Deduction claimed by Falcon as Organisational expenses= $8,000Falcon's Current Earnings and Profit therefore is the addition of the Current taxable income and the deduction claimed as organisational expense= $250,000 + $8,000= $258,000

Note: The reason why Falcon was able to deduct the $8,000 in the initial calculation of its taxable income for the year is that the Internal Revenue Service allows a Start-up Corporatio to deduct $5,000 in business startup costs and $5,000 in organizational costs only if the formation expenses or start-up cost is $50,000 or less. This exemption is removed once the expense is over $50,000.

Since, Falcon only incurred $50,000 as organisational expense during formation, the $8,000 is still within the limits of $10,000 allowed by the IRS.

However, The calculation of a firm's Earning and Profit represents a corporation's economic ability to pay dividends to its shareholders and it helps determine whether this dividend is taxable or not.

In calculating the E and P therefore, the claimed deduction from organisational expense must be added back to the taxable income. That is why Falcon's current Earnings and Profit is $258,000

Shrieves casting company is considering adding a new line to its product mix, and the capital budgeting analysis is being conducted by sidney johnson, a recently graduated mba. the production line would be set up in unused space in the main plant. the machinery’s invoice price would be approximately $200,000, another $10,000 in shipping charges would be required, and it would cost an additional $30,000 to install the equipment. the machinery has an economic life of 4 years, and shrieves has obtained a special tax ruling that places the equipment in the macrs 3-year class. the machinery is expected to have a salvage value of $25,000 after 4 years of use. the new line would generate incremental sales of 1,250 units per year for 4 years at an incremental cost of $100 per unit in the first year, excluding depreciation. each unit can be sold for $200 in the first year. the sales price and cost are both expected to increase by 3% per year due to inflation. further, to handle the new line, the firm’s net working capital would have to increase by an amount equal to 12% of sales revenues. the firm’s tax rate is 40%, and its overall weighted average cost of capital, which is the risk-adjusted cost of capital for an average project (r), is 10%. define “incremental cash flow.” (1) should you subtract interest expense or dividends when calculating project cash flow?
