A small factory is considering replacing its existing coining press with a newer, more efficient one. The existing press was purchased five years ago at a cost of $200,000, and it is being depreciated according to a 7-year MACRs depreciation schedule and the first five years of depreciation have been taken (see below for MACRs chart). The CFO estimates that the existing press has 6 years of useful life remaining. The purchase price for the new press is $306,000. The installation of the new press would cost an additional $24,000, and this cost would be capitalized and added to the depreciable base rather than expensed immediately. The new press (if purchased) would be depreciated using the 7-year MACRs depreciation schedule. Interest expense associated with the purchase of the new press is estimated to be roughly $7,900 per year for the next 6 years. The appeal of the new press is that it is estimated to produce a pre-tax operating cost savings of $75,000 per year for the next 6 years,…
An injection moulding machine was purchased 2 years ago. The machine has been depreciated on a straight-line basis with $500 salvage value, and it has 6 years of remaining life. Its current book value is $2,600, and it can be sold for $3,000 at this time. Assume, for ease of calculation, that the annual depreciation expense is $350 per year. The firm is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of $8,000 an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of $800. This machine falls into the MACRS 5-year class (20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 12%, 5%). The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by $1,000 per year; even so, the new machine would cause operating expenses to decline by $1,500 per year. The machine would require that inventories be increased by $2,000 but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by $500. The firm’s marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 40 percent, and its cost of capital is 15 percent. Should it replace…
Ten years ago J-Bar Company purchased a lathe for $250,000. It was being depreciated on a straight-line basis to an estimated $25,000 salvage value (watch video for Lesson 7 Part 2 to see how to handle this when using straight-line depreciation) over a 15-year period. The firm is considering selling the old lathe and purchasing a new one. The new lathe would cost $500,000. The firm’s marginal tax rate is 40 percent. Determine the net initial investment required to purchase the new lathe if the old lathe is sold for $100,000.
4 Excelsior Industries is evaluating the purchase of a new manufacturing machine for its product line (referred to as a "project" for the purpose of setting up the questions). The machine has an estimated life of four years. The cost of the machine is $250,000, and the machine will be depreciated using the straight-line method to a residual value of $0. The machine is expected to generate additional sales of 10,000 units in year 1, with sales growing by 8% annually through year four. The selling price per unit will be $120, and the cost of goods sold unit will be $75. per
replace its current equipment with new high-tech equipment. The existing equipment was purchased 5 years ago at a cost of $121,000. At that time, the equipment had an expected life of 10 years, with no expected salvage value. The equipment is being depreciated on a straight-line basis. Currently, the market value of the old equipment is $42,900. The new equipment can be bought for $174,340, including installation. Over its 10-year life, it will reduce operating expenses from $190,000 to $145,400 for the first six years, and from $203,600 to $193,600 for the last four years. Net working capital requirements will also increase by $20,200 at the time of replacement. It is estimated that the company can sell the new equipment for $24,400 at the end of its life. Since the new equipment's cash flows are relatively certain, the project's cost of capital is set at 9%, compared with 15% for an average-risk project. The firm's maximum acceptable payback period is 5 years. Click here to view the…
An automated assembly robot that cost $352,000 has a depreciable life of 5 years with a $85,000 salvage value.

Year 5? Year 6? The book value at the end of year 3 is $ . The book value at the end of year 5 is $ . The book value at the end of year 6 is $ .
The Darlington Equipment Company purchased a machine 5 years ago at a cost of $85,000. The machine had an expected life of 10 years at the time of purchase, and it is being depreciated by the straight-line method by $8,500 per year. If the machine is not replaced, it can be sold for $5,000 at the end of its useful life. A new machine can be purchased for $170,000, including installation costs. During its 5-year life, it will reduce cash operating expenses by $45,000 per year. Sales are not expected to change. At the end of its useful life, the machine is estimated to be worthless. The new machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase. The old machine can be sold today for $50,000. The firm's tax rate is 25%. The appropriate WACC is 9%. If the new machine is purchased, what is the amount of the initial cash flow at Year 0 after bonus depreciation is considered? Cash outflow should be indicated by a minus sign.

The Everly Equipment Company's flange-lipping machine was purchased 5 years ago for $65,000. It had an expected life of 10 years when it was bought and its remaining depreciation is $6,500 per year for each year of its remaining life. As older flange-lippers are robust and useful machines, this one can be sold for $20,000 at the end of its useful life. A new high-efficiency digital-controlled flange-lipper can be purchased for $110,000, including installation costs. During its 5-year life, it will reduce cash operating expenses by $35,000 per year, although it will not affect sales. At the end of its useful life, the high-efficiency machine is estimated to be worthless. MACRS depreciation will be used, and the machine will be depreciated over its 3-year class life rather than its 5-year economic life, so the applicable depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%. The old machine can be sold today for $45,000. The firm's tax rate is 25%, and the appropriate cost of capital…
On January 1, 2003, Superior Landscaping Company paid P17,000 to buy a stump grinder. If Superior uses the grinder to remove 2,500 stumps per year, it would have an estimated useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of P4,500. The amount of depreciation expense for the year 2003, using units-of-production depreciation and assuming that 3,500 stumps were removed, is?
