- Startle Corporation wants to purchase a new production machine. They currently have an old machine, which is operable for five more years and is expected to have a zero-disposal value at the end of five years. If the company buys the new machine, the old machine will be sold now for $65,000 (book value is $73,000). The new machine will cost $600,000 and will be depreciated for tax purposes on a straight-line basis over its useful life of 5 years. The new machine will not have a salvage value and will not be sold after its useful life. An additional cash investment in working capital of $50,000 will be required if the new machine is purchased. The investment is expected to generate $75,000 in before tax cash net inflows during the first year of operation. The expected before tax cash net inflow for years two through five is $220,000 each year. These cash flows do not include depreciation and are recognized at the end of each year. The working capital investment will not be recovered at…Trestle Corporation wants to purchase a new finishing machine.

Both machines are depreciable using a MACRS five-year recovery period See table attached, for the applicable depreciation percentages.) The firm is subject to a 21% tax rate. In each of the following cases, calculate the initial cash flow for the replacement. a. EMC sells the old machine for $13,000. b. EMC sells the old machine for $7,000. c.

- Builtrite purchased its current machine 3 years ago at a cost of $30,000 with an additional $5,000 in shipping and installation costs and $3,000 in training unique to this new machine. The machine is being depreciated down to zero during its five-year life. Today, Builtrite is thinking of selling this machine for $20,000. If Builtrite is in the 34% tax bracket, what are the tax implications for the sale?

The purchase price is $110,000, and an additional $25,000 is required to modify the equipment for special use by the company. The equipment falls into the MACRS seven-year classification (the tax life), and it will be sold after five years (the project life) for $50,000. The purchase of the earthmover will have no effect on revenues, but the machine is expected to save the firm $68,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm's marginal tax rate is 25%. Assume that the initial investment is to be financed by a bank loan at an interest rate of 10% payable annually.
