6..An in-place machine with B = $110,000 was depreciated by using Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) over a 3-year period. The machine was sold for $60,000 at the end of year 2 when the company decided to import the item that required the use of the machine. In year 2, gross income (GI) = $1 million and operating expenses (OE) = $500,000. Determine the tax liability in year 2 if Te = 35%.
The manufacture of folic acid is a competitive business. A new plant costs $100,000 and lasts for three years. The cash flow from the plant is as follows: Year-1: +43,300, Year-2: $43,300 and Year-3 = 58,300. (Assume there is no tax.) If the salvage value of the plant at the end of year is $66,700, would you scrap the plant at the end of year one?
A company is considering replacing an existing machine with a more moden one. Here are some of the details: The tax rate is 40%. Assume straight-line depreciation and a RRR of 10%. Assume the salvage value of the investment is equal to zero when calculating the depreciation charge. O Find the NPV associated with the project Old Machine New Machine $1,000,000 (7 years ago) $1,500,000 $200,000 $300,000 $0 (3 years from now) Purchase Price Market Value $1,500,000 $1,500,000 $100,000 (10 years from now) Book Value Salvage Value Age Original Life Yearly capacity Sales Price 7 10 10 55,000 units $7/unit 90,000 units $7/units Yearly expenses $100,000 $90,000 Training expenses Inventory not applicable $5,000 $30,000 $75,000
A firm can purchase a centrifugal separator (5-year MACRS property) for $22,000. The estimated salvage value is $4,000 after a useful life of six years. Operating and maintenance (O&M) costs for the first year are expected to be $2,200. These O&M costs are projected to increase by $1,000 per year each year thereafter. The income tax rate is 24% and the MARR is 11% after taxes. What must the uniform annual benefits be for the purchase of the centrifugal separator to be economical on an after-tax basis? CAN YOU DO THIS PROBLEM BY HAND? AND NOT USING EXCEL I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!

Your company is considering the purchase of a new 623K Wheel Tractor-Scraper. Use the following information to calculate the hourly owning costs, hourly operating costs, and total owning and operating costs. - Delivered price (with tires): $420,000 - Cost of Tires: $30,000 and their life is determined by the average operation in zone B. - Salvage value is zero - the equipment is new and it is anticipated to be used for 5 years, until end of its service life. - Anticipated operating hours per year: 2,000 hrs/yr - Simple interest rate for purchase loan: 12% - Annual cost of Insurance: $5,500 (See optional method) - Property tax rate: 2% - Fuel use will be average value in medium range - Cost of fuel: $3.10 per gallon - Hourly Maintenance Cost: $5.00 per hour - Repair cost: $11.00 per hour - Operator cost (with fringes): $75 per hour - No undercarriage or special wear items costs…
Bridgton Golf Academy is evaluating different golf practice equipment. The "Dimple-Max* equipment costs $104,000, has a three-year life, and costs $8,600 per year to operate. The relevant discount rate is 10%. Assume that the straight-line depreciation method is used and that the equipment is fully depreciated to $0. Furthermore, assume the equipment has a salvage value of $20,000 at the end of the project's life. The relevant tax rate is 28%. All cash flows occur at the end of the year. What is the equivalent annual cost (EAC) of this equipment?
A certain company is considering the use of a concrete electric pole in the expansion of its power distribution lines. A concrete pole cost 18,000 each and will last 20 years. The company is presently using wooden poles which cost 12,000 per pole and will last 10 years. Assume annual taxes amount to 1 percent of first cost and zero salvage value in both cases. Money is worth 12 percent. 1.3. Excluding interest on capital, what is the annual cost of the concrete pole? 1.4. Using ROR on additional investment, which pole should be used?
