One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $95,000. You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages and you can purchase it for $150,000 today. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years and has no salvage value. You expect that the new machine will produce a gross margin (revenues minus operating expenses other than depreciation) of $40,000 per year for the next 10 years. The current machine is expected to produce a gross margin of $25,000 per year. The current machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 11 years, and has no salvage value, so depreciation expense for the current machine is $8,636 per year. The market value today of the current machine is $45,000. Your company’s tax rate is 35%, and the opportunity cost of capital for this type of equipment is 11%. Should your company replace its year-old machine?The NPV of replacing the year-old machine is $____. (Round to the nearest dollar.)

1. Two years ago, Bethesda Corporation bought a delivery truck for $30,000 (not subject to the luxury auto depreciation limits). Bethesda used MACRS 200 percent declining balance and the half-year convention to recover the cost of the truck, but it did not elect $179 expensing and opted out of bonus depreciation. Answer the questions for the following alternative scenarios. Use MACRS Table. Required: a. Assuming Bethesda used the truck until it sold it in March of year 3, what depreciation expense can it claim on the truck for years 1 through 3? b. Assume that Bethesda claimed $18,480 of depreciation expense on the truck before it sold it in year 3. What are the amount and character of the gain or loss if Bethesda sold the truck in year 3 for $17,000 and incurred $2,000 of selling expenses on the sale? c. Assume that Bethesda claimed $18,480 of depreciation expense on the truck before it sold it in year 3. What are the amount and character of the gain or loss if Bethesda sold the truck…
Your company purchases a patent for $46,000 to attempt to compete in a usually restricted market. This patent does not have a salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. You are tasked with computing the depreciation schedule and book value for the patent using double declining balance with a switch to SL method (if necessary). Question 1 Part B: Complete the following table to show the depreciation schedule. If it is necessary to switch from DDB to SL depreciation, when the switch occurs, only enter the value of the SL depreciation and enter 0 for the DDB depreciation (eg. when/if the switch occurs, DDB: 0 and SL: X). Enter your answers in the form 1234 (enter 0 for blank table cells). NO DECIMALS Year B-1 (enter either the number with DDB (enter either the number no decimals, or 0 if blank) with no decimals, or 0 if blank) SL (enter either the number with no decimals, or O if blank) DDB or SL? (enter DDB, SL, or 0 if neither applies below! D., (enter either the number with B,…
Which of the following statements is true when the straight-line method is used to compute amortization? Multiple Chaice Expense recognizes declines as the asset wears out Accumulated amortization is a constant amount during the asset's estimated useful life. Amortization expense per period is the amortizable cost divided by the number of periods in the asset's useful life. The carrying value of an asset is a constant amount during the asset's useful life. None of the other alternatives are correct
The term depreciation refers to how the value of an asset (such as a car) decreases over time. There are several different approaches for calculating depreciation. Part A: In the straight-line method of calculating depreciation, the value of the item is reduced by the same amount each year. Suppose a company purchases a car for $24000. Using straight-line depreciation, the value of the car may be reduced by $2500 each year. Determine a formula for S(t), the value of the car t years after purchase. Answer: Part B: After five years, the value of the car, using the straight-line method, will be $ Part C: After twelve years, the value of the car, using the straight-line method, will be Part D: In the declining balance method of depreciation, the value of the item is reduced by the same percentage each year. Suppose the $24000 car is depreciated at a rate of 14% each year. Determine a formula for D(t), the value of the car t years after purchase. Answer: Part E: After five years, the value…
