However, implementing the SAP may reduce cost in technical expertise and process and procedures. Other than that, it will also save the accountant’s time and improves efficiency which implicates costing as well.

B. After-tax Cash Flow
Using the estimated cost that is provided by the PETRA’s group-wide SAP system, we have constructed a table to predict the after-cash flows. First, the total savings and cost for the first year to the 6th year is calculated. After that, depreciation cost at 34% out of the initial investment (RM 4,344,390) using the straight-line method is determined. This is done to reduce the tax rate which stands at 25%. After deducting the tax from earnings, reversal of depreciation is done for income statement.
