An asset is planned to be purchased with an initial value of $400,000 and an estimatedsalvage value of $50,000 after 5 years of use. It will be depreciated using the straight-line method.With this asset $500,000 of annual income will be generated and there will beannual costs of $100,000The trem (minimum acceptable rate of return), m = 10% per yearThe annual tax rate is 40%Calculate the present value of this investment and make a recommendation.

Suppose an asset has a purchase cost of $15,000, a life of five years, a salvage value of $3,000 at the end of five years, and a net annual before-tax revenue of $7,500. The firm's marginal tax rate is 35%. The asset will be depreciated by five-year MACRS.(a) Determine the cash flow after taxes, assuming that the purchase cost will be entirely financed by the equity funds.(b) Rework part (a), assuming that the entire investment would be financed by a bank loan at an interest rate of 9%.(c) Given a choice between paying the purchase cost up front from the firm's equity and using the financing method of part (b), show calculations to justify which is the better choice at an interest rate of 9%.
Required Information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Project A requires a $365,000 initial investment for new machinery with a five-year life and a salvage value of $42,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation. Project A is expected to yield annual net income of $25,300 per year for the next five years. Compute Project A's accounting rate of return.

An economic analysis is being performed in real (not actual) dollars. The company’s combined MARR is 10%, and the inflation rate is 4%. The asset has a first cost of $10,000. It will be depreciated as MACRS 3-year property using rates of 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%. What depreciation amount will be shown in year 3 of the analysis?
1.) A project is estimated to cost P100,000, lasts 8 years and have a P10,000 salvage value. The annual gross income is expected to average P24,000, and annual expenses, excluding depreciation will total P6,000. If capital is earning 10% before income tax, determine if this is a desirable investment using A.) Rate of Return Method and B.) Annual Cost or Worth Method. II. Gradients (Shows solutions manually): 2.) The year-end operating and maintenance costs of a certain machine are estimated to be P12,000 the first year and to increase by P2,500 each year during its 4-year life. If capital is worth 12%, determine the equivalent uniform year-end costs. 3.) Annual maintenance costs for an equipment are P1,500 this year and are estimated to increase 10% each year every year. What is the present worth of maintenance cost for six years if i = 12%
