Answer:
$1,260,000
Explanation:
Given that,
Annual depreciation expense = $3.6 million
Marginal corporate tax rate = 35%
Average corporate tax rate = 30%
The reason to use marginal tax shield is that the firm would save additional amount it would have paid in taxes.
Value of the depreciation tax shield:
= Marginal corporate tax rate × Annual depreciation expense
= 35% × $3,600,000
= $1,260,000
Therefore, the value of the depreciation tax shield on the company's new project is $1,260,000.
