    Need of 1,100,000 cans per year $275,000
    Annual cost of direct labor for new employees:
    Wages 72,000
    Health benefits 7,500
    Other benefits 12,960
    Total wages and benefits 92,460

    Other variable production costs 55,000

    Total annual production costs $422,460

    Annual cost to purchase cans $495,000

    For the Cash flow over the life of the project section.

    Annual cash savings 72,540 (495,000-422,460) Before Tax Amount
    Tax Effect = .55 (=1-.45)
    After Tax Amount = 39,897 (72,540*.55)

    Tax savings due to depreciation
    32,000 (200,000-40,000)* 1,100,000/5,500,000
    Tax Effect =.45
    After Tax Amount 14,400 (32,000*.45)

    Total annual cash flow is now 54,297 ( I am off by 4054).
    Did I miss something? Thank you.

    You are correct until your annual cash savings part. You used the wrong tax rate. The tax rate is 0.35 so your tax effect is 0.65 (1-.35).

    Your tax saving due to depreciation part, your tax effect is 0.35

    Once you change your tax effects parts and recalculate your totals you should be at $58,351 total annual cash flow.
