In addition, the division has $54 million in assets that are not depreciable. After four years, the division will have $54 million available from these nondepreciable assets. This means that the division has invested $108 million in assets with a salvage value of $64.8 million. Annual depreciation is $10.8 million. Annual operating cash flows are $29 million. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis, recognizing the salvage values noted. Ignore taxes.
