A special-purpose machine tool set would cost $20,000. The tool set will be financed by a $10,000 bank loan repayable in two equal annual installments at 10% compounded annually. The tool is expected to provide annual (material) savings of $30,000 for two years and is to be depreciated by the MACRS three-year recovery period. The tool will require annual O&M costs in the amount of $5,000. The salvage value at the end of the two years is expected to be $8,000.

A company is evaluating the addition of equipment to its present operations. They need to purchase equipment for $160,000. The five year MACRS GDS Recovery Method is appropriate for the investment and the total tax rate (federal plus state) is 40%. Gross revenue is expected to be $30,000/year while maintenance costs are expected to be $5,000/year. It is expected that the operation will be shut down at the end of the fourth year with a salvage value of $20,000. a- Draw a BTCFD b- Prepare a table showing your development of the ATCF's. c- If the company's aftertax MARRis 12%/year, is this a profitable investment?
Material-handling equipment used in the manufacture of grain products (MACRS-GDS 10-year property) is purchased and installed for $180,000. It is placed in service in the middle of the tax year. If it is removed just before the end of the tax year approximately 4.5 years from the date placed in service, determine the depreciation deduction during each of the tax years involved using MACRS-GDS allowances. ———————- Repeat the previous problem if the material-handling equipment is removed just after the tax year, again using MACRS-GDS allowances.
A concrete and rock crusher for demolition work has been purchased for $50,000, and it has an estimated SV of $12,000 at the end of its five year life Engineers have estimated that the following units of production (in m³ of crushed material) will be contracted over the next five years. Using the units of production depreciation method, what is the depreciation allowance in year three, and what is the BV at the end of year two? The depreciation allowance in year three is $ The BV at the end of year two is $. (Round to the nearest dollar) (Round to the nearest dollar) EOY m³ 1 14,000 2 26,000 3 35,000 4 17,000 5 8,000
A proposed cost-saving device has an installed cost of $610,000. It is in Class 8 (CCA rate = 20%) for CCA purposes. It will actually function for five years, at which time it will have no value. There are no working capital consequences from the Investment, and the tax rate is 35%. a. What must the pre-tax cost savings be for us to favour the Investment? We require an 10% return. (Hint: This one is a variation on the problem of setting a bid price.) (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.) Cost savings $ 94,000 b. Suppose the device will be worth $85,000 in salvage (before taxes). How does this change your answer? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.) Cost savings $80,769.23
Kolby's Korndogs is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $670,000. The asset qualifies for 100 percent bonus depreciation and can be scrapped for $88,000 at the end of the project's 5-year life. The sausage system will save the firm $213,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $41,000. If the tax rate is 23 percent and the discount rate is 11 percent, what is the NPV of this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

DBS Builders Pte Ltd purchased an asphalt paver eight years ago for $280,000. The estimated operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for the next three years are $56,000, $68,000, and $82,000, respectively. The asphalt paver can be sold for $65,000 now, for $57,000 next year, for $45,000 two years from now, and for $28,000 three years from now. 4. The latest asphalt paver in the market costs $290,000 and has an estimated service life of five years. The salvage value is estimated to be $50,000 after five years. The expected annual O&M costs will be $6,000 for the first year and increase by $3,800 per year thereafter. If a before-tax minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) of 12% is estimated, what replacement decision should DBS Builders make?
Air handling equipment that costs P12, 000 has a life of eight years with a P2, 000 salvage value. What is the Sinking fund depreciation amount for each year? Assume interest at 4.5% compounded annually.
SGS Golf Academy is evaluating different golf practice equipment. The "Dimple-Max" equipment costs $149,000, has a 4-year life, and costs $9,300 per year to operate. The relevant discount rate is 14 percent. Assume that the straight-line depreciation method is used and that the equipment is fully depreciated to zero. Furthermore, assume the equipment has a salvage value of $21,500 at the end of the project’s life. The relevant tax rate is 22 percent. All cash flows occur at the end of the year. What is the EAC of this equipment? Note: Your answer should be a negative value and indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
Required information Nuclear safety devices installed several years ago have been depreciated from a first cost of $200,000 to zero using the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS). The devices can be sold on the used equipment market for an estimated $15,000, or they can be retained in service for 5 more years with a $9000 upgrade now and an operating expenses (OE) of $6000 per year. The upgrade investment will be depreciated over 3 years with no salvage value. The challenger is a replacement with newer technology at a first cost of $40,000, n=5 years, and S=0. The new units will have operating expenses of $7000 per year. Use a 5-year study period, an effective tax rate of 41%, an after-tax minimum acceptable rate of return (MARR) of 12% per year, and an assumption of classical straight line depreciation (no half-year convention) to perform an after-tax AW-based replacement study. The annual worth of the defender is determined to be $[ The annual worth of the challenger is…
