Depreciation is not a cash flow, yet it affects a project's cash flows through

  • A.the maintenance it avoids
  • B.the tax it saves
  • C.the interest it earns
  • D.the salvage value it creates

Answer: B

Correct answer: the tax it saves

No money moves when depreciation is charged, but the charge reduces taxable income, and the tax not paid is a genuine cash saving. That is why depreciation appears in a project’s cash flow analysis at all: it enters only through the tax computation, and its value to the firm is the charge multiplied by the tax rate.
