6. Problem 12.06 (Depreciation Methods)Charlene is evaluating a capital budgeting project that should last for 4 years. The project requires $825,000 of equipment and is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation. She is unsure whetherimmediately expensing the equipment or using straight-line depreciation is better for the analysis. Under straight-line depreciation, the cost of the equipment would be depreciated evenly over its4-year life (ignore the half-year convention for the straight-line method).

Penny and Daughter’s construction business is considering purchasing a new Bobcat. The equipment will cost $230,000 and is expected to last 14 years. The Bobcat has a salvage vale of $16,000. Calculate the depreciation AND book value for each year. You can create one table for a-d or you can create different tables for each. This problem will need to be done in excel. (30 points)a. Use straight-line depreciation. (5 points)b. Use declining-balance depreciation with a depreciation rate that ensures the book value equals the salvage vale in the last year of the life of the equipment. c. Use double declining balance depreciation. d. Use MACRS depreciation where the Bobcat is considered a 10 year property. e. Graph the Book values of each methods on a single graph. The graph should have points at each year for each BV and a line of each method. You will have 4 lines on your graph. You should include year 0 on your graph so that all four lines start at the same point. Each method should be…
Listen You want to buy a new equipment to replace an existing one. The new equipment will be depreciated down to zero using straight-line depreciation over its 10-year life. The project is a 10-year project. The market value of the new equipment at the end of year 10 is expected to be 0. The new equipment will replace an existing old equipment that has 10 years left of depreciation at a $3,000 a year. The estimated before tax proceeds from selling this existing equipment is $15,000 today. The market value in 10 years for this old equipment would be 0. The new equipment will generate annual cost savings of $12,000 before taxes. The tax rate is 20% and the discounting rate is 10%. What is the maximum price you are willing to pay today for the new equipment? For your answer, do not enter the dollar sign ($), DO NOT use commas, and you can round to zato decimals (the nearest dollar). Your Answer: Answer
National Integrated Systems (NIS), a global provider of heating and air conditioning is planning a project whose data is provided below. The project’s equipment has a 3 year tax life after which its salvage value will be zero. The machinery will be depreciated on a straight line basis over three years. Revenues and other operating costs are expected to be constant over the project’s life. What is the project’s cash flow in Year 1? Equipment Cost = $130,000Depreciation rate = 33.33%Annual Sales Revenue= $120,000Operating Costs (ex Depreciation) = $50,000 Tax Rate = 35%
Project A requires a $405,000 initial investment for new machinery. Project A is expected to yield income of $25,200 per year and net cash flow of $97,600 per year for the next five years. Compute Project A's payback period. Payback Period Numerator: = +/ = = Denominator: Payback Period Payback period 0 Please provide detailed solution
dOfice eBook Kristin is evaluating a capital budgeting project that should last for 4 years. The project requires $525,000 of equipment. She is unsure what depreciation method to use in her analysis, straight-line or the 3-year MACRS accelerated method. Under straight-line depreciation, the cost of the equipment would be depreciated evenly over its 4-year life (ignore the half-year convention for the straight-line method). The applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7%. The company's WACC is 9%, and its tax rate is 35%. a. What would the depreciation expense be each year under each method?
