Answer:

A. $21,100

Explanation:

net cash flow year 1 = {[savings year 1 - (depreciation expense year 1)] x (1 - tax rate)]} + depreciation expense year 1

cash flow year 1 = {[$25,000 - ($30,000 x 33.33)] x (1 - 26%)} + ($30,000 x 33.33) = [($25,000 - $10,000) x 0.74] + $10,000 = $11,100 + $10,000 = $21,100
