The correct answer to the following question is $1500.

Explanation:

Tax shield can be defined as the deductions which are allowed on the taxable income, which would ultimately lead to decrease in the taxes paid to the government.

Given information -

Cash inflow - $50,000

Cash outflow - $43,000

Net income - $35,000

Depreciation deduction - $5000

Accumulated depreciation - $10,000

tax rate - 30%

For taking out the tax shield - Sum of taxable deduction x Tax rate

Depreciation expense x tax rate

= $5000 x 30%

= $1500
