Explanation / Answer

Depreciation: Cost of Asset-Salvage Value/ Life of Asset

                               

22A:

                =244,100-0/6=$40,683

23A:

                =273,500-0/9=$30,389

24A:

                =280,600-0/7=$40,086

Cash flow= Annual income+ Deprecation

22A:

                =17,140 +40,683= $57,823

23A:

                =20,740 +30,389=$ 51,129

24A:

                =15,700 +40,086=$ 55,786
