The Menendez expects to have sales of $12 million. Costs other than are expected to be 75 percent of sales, and is expected to be $1.5 million. All sales revenues will be collected in cash, and costs other than must be paid for during the year. Menendez’s federal-plus-state tax rate is 40 percent.
a. Set up an income statement. What is Menendez’s expected net cash flow?
b. Suppose Congress changed the tax laws so that Menendez’s expenses doubled. No changes in operations occurred. What would happen to reported profit and to net cash flow?
c. Now suppose that Congress, instead of doubling Menendez’s , reduced it by 50 percent. How would profit and net cash flow be affected?
d. If this were your company, would you prefer Congress to cause your expense to be doubled or halved? Why?
