(Calculating operating cash flows) The Heritage Farm Implement Company is considering an investment that is expected to generate revenues of $2,550,000 per year. The project will also involve annual cash expenses (including both fixed and variable costs) of $1,100,000, while increasing depreciation by $380,000 per year. If the firm's tax rate is 30 percent, what is the project's estimated net operating profit after taxes? What is the project's annual operating cash flow? At a tax rate of 30%, the project's estimated net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) is $, (Round to the nearest dollar.)

To calculate the project's estimated net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT), we need to subtract the taxes from the net operating profit (NOP) of the project.

The net operating profit (NOP) is calculated by subtracting the annual cash expenses and depreciation from the revenues:

NOP = Revenues - Expenses - Depreciation
= $2,550,000 - $1,100,000 - $380,000
= $1,070,000

Next, we multiply the NOP by the tax rate to calculate the taxes:

Taxes = NOP * Tax rate
= $1,070,000 * 0.30
= $321,000

Finally, we subtract the taxes from the NOP to calculate the estimated net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT):

NOPAT = NOP - Taxes
= $1,070,000 - $321,000
= $749,000

Therefore, the project's estimated net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) is $749,000.

To calculate the project's annual operating cash flow, we need to add back the depreciation to the NOPAT:

Operating cash flow = NOPAT + Depreciation
= $749,000 + $380,000
= $1,129,000

Therefore, the project's annual operating cash flow is $1,129,000.
