I have a question similar to yours but im not given the deprecation rate only after tax MARR and tax. How can i find the depreciation rate, d, to be able to find the CTF and CSF?
Sorry, I didn't see you comment for some reason. You definitely need to know the depreciation rate! Maybe your question uses another clue such as the "Asset Class"; this would be an indirect way of specifying the depreciation rate...
The CTF is a factor that accounts for the PW of all the future tax savings created by the depreciation expenses, assuming you own the asset forever, and assuming declining balance depreciation. That's a pretty technical explanation but probably the best I can do in a RUclips comment!
It is derived from an infinite series. Most textbooks show the derivation of the CTF formula; often in an Appendix. You should note that this example assumes the "half year rule" applies to the allowable depreciation expense for the first year the asset is owned.
This guy has a gift of teaching
Thank you!!
How can I find the y2 ? from the formula for the CTF
I could not thank you enough for the great help

That was a really helpful video! :) Could you explain how CTF works? Thanks!
