The correct answer to the following question is C) $240,000.

Explanation:

The given information -

Potential investment = $900,000

Depreciation tax shield = $60,000

Tax rate = 25%

The amount of depreciation expenses recorded by cordet's cafe would be -

Potential investment x Tax rate + Depreciation tax shield x Tax rate

= $900,000 x 25% + $60,000 x 25%

= $225,000 + $15,000

= $240,000
