I would like to know why the tax is (1-30%) in operating cash flow because it usually deducted by 30% only . and also in the terminal cash flow , it was only deducted by 30% not (1-30%) . may i know the difference ?

Question 18 Mick Ronalds is a fast-food establishment that is considering replacing its fryolators. The cost of the new plant is $200,000. For tax purposes, depreciation is allowed at 20% on prime cost (this means, straight line over the next ve years). The plant would be sold for $40,000 at the end of its ten-year life. Operating expenses will be $90,000 per annum, compared with $120,000 a year for the existing fryolators. However, if the existing plant were kept, $70,000 would need to be spent in four years time on a major overhaul, which would be immediately expensed for tax purposes. The existing plant is being depreciated at $6,000 a year. It now has a book value of $60,000. This plant could be sold today for $50,000. Alternatively, it could be used for the next ten years and then scrapped for nil value. The tax rate is 30%. Mick Ronald's equity beta is 1.00, the pretax cost of debt is 20% and the risk free rate and market return are 6% and 14%, respectively. Mick Ronald's debt to equity ratio is 1. a.
