During the reporting period ending 30 June 2014, Sara Limited erected an oil rig in Noosa River. The cost of the rig and associated technology amounted to $99 000 000. The oil rig commenced production on 1 July 2014. At the end of the rig’s useful life, which is expected to be five (5) years, Sara Limited is required by its resource consent to dismantle the oil rig, remove it, and return the site to its original condition. After consulting its own engineers and environmentalists, Sara Limited estimates that if such work was required to be done at the present time it would cost $14 999 995. If we accept that the rate on 5-year government bonds reflects the relevant time value of money, and if the rate is 4 per cent annually, calculate the present value of the restoration provision which would be today.
Assume that a firm expects to be able to liquidate the new machine, which cost $400, 000, at the end of its 5- year usable life to net $42, 000 after paying removal and cleanup costs. Had it not been replaced by the new machine, the old machine, which initially cost $240,000 and was used for 3 years before being replaced, would have been liquidated at the end of the 5 years (i. e., the same time the new machine is liquidated) to net $ 10,000. The firm expects to recover its $17,000 net working capital investment upon termination of the project. The firm pays taxes at a rate of 40%. The firm depreciated both machines using a 5-yr MACR schedule as follows: 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 12%, 5%. Calculating the terminal cash flow for this machine.
