Tech Engineering Company is considering the purchase of a new machine. The new machine, which falls into the MACRS 5-year class, has an estimated life of 5 years, and it costs $40,000 to purchase the machine. Tech plans to sell the machine at the end of the fifth year for $12,000. Initial decrease in accounts payable = $3,000, which must be restored at the end of the project's life. The applicable depreciation rates are 0.20, 0.32, 0.19, 0.12, 0.11, and 0.06. The new machine is expected to generate before-tax cash savings of $13,000 per year. The company's tax rate is 30%. What is the year 5 total free cash flow of the proposed project? Group of answer choices $24,540 $32,540 $22,540 $27,540 $29,540
Van Frank Telecommunications has a patent on a cellular transmission process. The company has amortized the $19.80 million cost of the patent on a straight-line basis since it was acquired at the beginning of 2020. Due to rapid technological advances in the industry, management decided that the patent would benefit the company over a total of six years rather than the nine-year life being used to amortize its cost. The decision was made at the end of 2024 (before adjusting and closing entries). What is the appropriate adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2024 to reflect the revised estimate? Note: If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers in millions rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e., 5,500,000 should be entered as 5.50).

Looner Industries is currently analyzing the purchase of a new machine that costs $158,000 and requires $19,900 in installation costs. Purchase of this machine is expected to result in an increase in net working capital of $29,600 to support the expanded level of operations. The firm plans to depreciate the machine under MACRS using a five-year recovery period (see the table attached for the applicable depreciation percentages) and expects to sell the machine to net $10,300 before taxes at the end of its usable life. The firm is subject to a 21% tax rate c. Assuming a five-year usable life, calculate the terminal cash flow if the machine were sold to net (1) $8,895 or (2) $169,900 (before taxes) at the end of five years. d. Discuss the effect of sale price on terminal cash flow using your findings in part c.
XYZ Corporation has purchased a new piece of machinery for $75,000. The piece of equipment should last for 8 years and will have a $5,000 salvage value at the end of its useful life. They plan on using the unit-of-production depreciation method. Use the production information below to calculate the estimated depreciation information for each year. Year Units Produced 1 8,000 2 10,000 3 12,000 4 14,000 5 12,000 6 10,000 7 8,000 8 5,000
Chesterfield Constructions Ltd owns a crane which is used based on contract for many construction projects. The entity purchased the crane in April 2015 at a cost of $2,200,000. The manager estimates that the crane will work on average for 250 days each year for 10 years and then it would be sold at an estimated residual price of $200,000. By 30 June 2020 the crane had worked for 1,200 days.In July 2020 the motor of the crane started to shudder and lose power. An assessment of the crane’s motor resulted in repairs that were required to maintain the motor at its normal efficiency. The cost of $6,000 comprised labour of $4,000 and replacement parts of $2,000. The repairs were completed by the end of July 2020. The management decided that the cost would be regarded as a capital cost. At the same time management estimated that the crane would now be used for a total of 3,000 days with an estimated residual value of $90,000. In the remainder of the financial year to 2021 the crane worked…
Your company is contemplating the purchase of a large stamping machine. The machine will cost $167,000. With additional transportation and installation costs of $5,000 and $11,000, respectively, the cost basis for depreciation purposes is $183,000. Its MV at the end of five years is estimated as $34,000. The IRS has assured you that this machine will fall under a three year MACRS class life category. The justifications for this machine include $45,000 savings per year in labor and $29,000 savings per year in reduced materials. The before-tax MARR is 24% per year, and the effective income tax rate is 28%. Assume the stamping machine will be used for only three years, owing to the company's losing several government contracts. The MV at the end of year three is $47,000. What is the income tax owed at the end of year three owing to depreciation recapture (capital gain)? E Click the icon to view the GDS Recovery Rates (rg) for the 3-year property class.

Fleet Sports purchased a production machine with a cost of $180,000 at the beginning of 2019. Transportation costs to get the machine ready were $5,000. An additional $15,000 of labor costs were incurred to assemble the machine. The equipment has an estimated life of 10 years or 100,000 snowboards (units of product). The estimated residual value is $20,000. During 2019, 17,000 snowboards (units of product) were produced with this machinery. Determine the following, and show your work: 4.What is the book value of the equipment at the end of 2020 using straight-line depreciation? 5.What is depreciation expense for the equipment at the end of 2019 using double-declining balance depreciation? 6What journal entry is needed at the end of 2020 to record depreciation expense using double-declining balance depreciation?

The Campbell Company is evaluating the proposed acquisition of a new milling machine. The machine’s base price is $108,000, and it would cost another $12, 500 to modify it for special use by your firm. The machine will be sold after three years for $65,000. The applicable depreciation rates are 33 percent, 45 percent, 15 percent, and 7 percent. The machine would require an increase in net operating working capital (inventory) of $5,500. The machine would have no effect on revenues, but is expected to save the firm $44,000 per year in before tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell’s marginal tax rate is 35 percent.
