All of the above figures are expressed at 1 January 20X2 prices. Inflation is expected to operate at 5 per cent p.a. throughout the project’s life.

Corporation tax is charged on profits at the rate of 30 per cent, payable during the year in which the profit is earned (assume that the taxable profit equals the net operating cash flow).
