Transcribed Image Text:Builtrite is considering purchasing a new
machine that would cost $60,000 and the
machine would be depreciated (straight line)
down to $0 over its five year life. At the end of
four years it is believed that the machine
could be sold for $18,000. The current
machine being used was purchased 3 years
ago at a cost of $40,000 and it is being
depreciated down to zero over its 5 year life.
The current machine's salvage value now is
$20,000. The new machine would increase
EBDT by $42,000 annually. Builtrite's marginal
tax rate is 34%.
What is the TCF associated with the purchase
of this machine if it is sold at the end of year 4
(NOT year 5)?
A. $18,000
B. $11,880
C. $6,000
D. $15,960
