After adding $15,300 to the $15,000 in savings, the cash flow for year 2 would equal $30,300. For year 3, the depreciation expense would equal $85,000 * .15, or $12,750.

Fair value = 4.0 million x 3.3 = 13,200,000 P = A/ (1+nr) =4 million / (1 + 4 x .05) = 4 million / 1.2 = 3.3 Impairment value = fair value minus book value = 13,200,000 - -4,000,000 = 17,200,000 B) Repeat part A but instead assume that (1) the estimated remaining useful life is 10 years, (2) the estimated annual cash flows $2,720,000 per year, and (3) the appropriate discount rate is 6%. The impairment loss value that should be reported for the five stores at the end of fiscal 2011 is $4,624,064,000,000 Carrying amount = 36 million – (10 x 10 million) = (-64 million) - book value Undiscounted expected cash flow = 10 x 2,720,000 = 27,200,000 for all years. Fair value = 2,720,000 x 1,700,000 = 4,624,000,000,000 P= A / (1 + nr) =2,720,000 / (1 + 10 x .06) = 2,720,000 / 1.6 = 1,700,000 Impairment value = fair value – book value = 4,624,000,000,000 - -64 million = 4,624,064,000,000 Analysis Assume that you are a financial analyst and you participate in a conference call with Electroboy management in early 2012 (before Electroboy closes the books on fiscal 2011).

Capital is mobile: when it is taxed heavily here, it flees somewhere else, meaning lower investment and employment in the United States, and because capital income taxes discourage investment or drive it overseas, they generate little if any tax revenue.
