A European candy manufacturing plant manager must select a new irradiation system to ensure the safety of specific ingredients, while being economical. The two alternatives available have the following estimates: System First Cost, $ CFBT, $ per Year Life, Years A B -145,000 60,000 -75,000 20,000 The company is in the 35% tax bracket and assumes classical straight line depreciation for alternative comparisons performed at an after-tax minimum acceptable rate of return (MARR) of 7% per year. A salvage value of zero is used when depreciation is calculated; however, system B can be sold after 5 years for an estimated 6% of its first cost. System A has no anticipated salvage value. Determine which is more economical using an annual worth (AW) analysis worked by hand. The annual worth analysis for system A is determined to be $ -16.259.5| O The annual worth analysis for system B is determined to be $ -792.5 8

Consider the proposed capital investment in an engineering project. • Proposed capital investment: $105,000 • Salvage value (end of year four): 0 • Annual expenses per year. $20,000 • Gross revenues per year: $55,000 • Depreciation method: GDS • Property Class year. 3 • Effective income tax rate (t): 35% • After-tax MARR (i): 10% • The study period is 4 years. determine a) After-tax AW b) annual equivalent EVAF
If we think the investment is sensitive to annual revenues, what is its breakeven point for the project?
The after-tax analysis for a $60,000 investment with associated gross income minus expenses (GI - E) is shown below for only the first 2 years. If the effective tax rate is 40%, the values for depreciation (D), taxable income (TI), and taxes for year 1 are closest to:a. D = $5,000; TI = $25,000; Taxes = $10,000b. D = $30,000; TI = $30,000; Taxes = $4000c. D = $20,000; TI = $50,000; Taxes = $20,000d. D = $20,000; TI = $10,000; Taxes = $4000

create a cash flow diagram/table An asset that is book-depreciated over a 5-year period by the straight line method has B3 = $62,000 with a depreciation charge of $26,000 per year. Determine (a) the first cost of the asset and (b) the assumed salvage value
Estimate the approximate after-tax rate of return for a project that has a before-tax ROR of 18.6%. Assume the company's effective tax rate is 26% and it uses MACRS depreciation for an asset that has a $40,000 salvage value. The approximate after-tax rate of return is %.
