The rogers corporation has a gross profit of $704,000 and $333,000 in depreciation expense. the evans corporation also has $704,000 in gross profit, with $49,300 in depreciation expense. selling and administrative expense is $191,000 for each company.

a. given that the tax rate is 40 percent, compute the cash flow for both companies.

cash flow rogers=
cash flow evans=

b. calculate the difference in cash flow between the two firms.

a. Cash Flow Rogers =  $441,000

Cash Flow Evans = $327,520

b. $113,480

Explanation:

The computation of the cash flow for both companies are shown below:

a. For Cash Flow Rogers

= Gross profit - Selling and administrative expense - income tax expense + depreciation expense × tax rate

where,  

Income tax expense = (Gross profit - Selling and administrative expense) × income tax rate  

= ($704,000 - $191,000) × 40%  

= $205,200

And, the other items values would remain the same

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $704,000 - $191,000 - $205,200 + $333,000 × 40%

= $307,800 + $133,200

= $441,000

For Cash Flow Evans

= Gross profit - Selling and administrative expense - income tax expense + depreciation expense × tax rate

where,  

Income tax expense = (Gross profit - Selling and administrative expense) × income tax rate  

= ($704,000 - $191,000) × 40%  

= $205,200

And, the other items values would remain the same

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $704,000 - $191,000 - $205,200 + $49,300 × 40%

= $307,800 + $19,720

= $327,520

b. The computation of the difference in cash flow between the two firms are shown below:

= Cash Flow Rogers - Cash Flow Evans

= $441,000 -  $327,520

= $113,480

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
