5. Are Robinson’s first two observations, respectively, correct?
选项:
A.Yes for both observations.
B.No for the first and Yes for the second.
C.Yes for the first and No for the second.
解释:
Robinson’s first statement is wrong. The value of an asset is the present value of its future cash flows. Economic income each year is the cash flow minus economic depreciation, EI = CF ED. For this company, which is declining in value each year, the economic depreciation is positive and EI is less than CF each year. Consequently, the present value of economic income (EI) will be less than the present value of future cash flows (CF). Robinson’s second statement is correct.
第二个陈述不严谨啊,EI应该是after-tax CF减去economic depreciation,题目中没说是税后
