Osborne Books - Level 4 synoptic workbook, page 29, task 4

Hello, can anyone please explain the calcluation for task 4 in Level 4 synoptic workbook, page 29?
i don't understand why the cash flow amount has to minus 60K. The answer shows in the book for the cash flow in Y1 is (275k+50k-60k)=265K



I have attached the quesiton.

Thanks

    It's beacuse the £60,000 is overall irrelevant to the decision and is therefore not included in the considered cash flow.

    If the plant is open:
    £275,000 is made including £50,000 in management cost

    If the plant is closed
    The management cost still occurs and £60,000 is gained at another site.

    Therefore cash flow
    =£275,000 (made from being open) + £50,000 (cost occurs either way) - £60,000 (Income that would occur even if closed)

    Hello, could anyone explain whether the 10% decrease is calculated from 265K or from 325k?

    Hi Kasiak, I have been struggling with this question and previous comments have been helpful.

    The 10% is on the 265,000. It wouldn't be on the 325,000 because this amount is before the deduction for non-relevant costs of 60,000.

    The way I handled it is by carrying over only 90% of each year's revenue to next year. E.g.

    Y2 total = 265,000*90%=238,500
    Y3 total = 238,500*90%=214,650
    Etc...

    This is also what the answer suggests.

    I hope this is somehow helpful.

    Great, thanks! Thank you very much for the explanation and solution to the problem that you provided. I could not cope with this task for several days and your answers helped me a lot. In general, when I cannot cope with a particular task at the university for a long time, I turn with advice either to the teachers or to the company https://assignmentbro.com/ca/, which has been helping me with writing assignments for several years.
