Tax effects on cash flow
On pg.263, Exercise 1, the answer is the cash flow will not be influenced by the deferral cost. But shouldn't the effect on taxes be considered? So that a higher pre-tax income leads higher tax payments and then a lower cash flow. Looking forward to your reply!

Completed work sheet
It would be useful to have a completed worksheet of the model. It is not always easy to follow the instructions. Is it possible you can send a completed model for the advanced model. Thanks. Fanar
