Your company is contemplating the purchase of a large stamping machine. The machine will cost $180,000. With additional transportation and installation costs of $5,000 and $10,000, respectively, the cost basis for depreciation purposes is $195,000. Its MV at the end of five years is estimated as $40,000. The IRS has assured you that this machine will fall under a three-year MACRS class life category. The justifications for this machine include $40,000 savings per year in labor and $30,000 savings per year in reduced materials. The before-tax MARR is 20% per year, and the effective income tax rate is 40%. Use this information to solve, The taxable income for year three is most nearly (a) $5,010 (b) $16,450 (c) $28,880 (d) $41,120 (e) $70,000.
A stamping machine is classified as seven-year MACRS property. The costbasis for the machine is $120,000, and the expected salvage value is $10,000 at the end of 12 years. Compute the book value at the end of three years for tax purposes.
Atlantic Control Company purchased a machine two years ago at a cost of $70,000. At that time, the machine’s expected economic life was six years and its salvage value at the end of its life was estimated to be $10,000. It is being depreciated using the straight line method so that its book value at the end of six years is $10,000. In four years, however, the old machine will have a market value of $0. A new machine can be purchased for $80,000, including shipping and installation costs. The new machine has an economic life estimated to be four years. Three-year MACRS depreciation will be used. During its four-year life, the new machine will reduce cash operating expenses by $20,000 per year. Sales are not expected to change. But the new machine will require net working capital to be increased by $4,000. At the end of its useful life, the machine is estimated to have a market value of $2,500. What is the NPV of this project? Should Atlantic replace the old machine (assuming a…

The machine had an original expected life of 10 years and a zero estimated salvage value at the end of that period. The current market value of the machine is $2,000. The divisional manager reports that a new machine can be bought and installed for $14,000. Over its five-year life, this machine will expand sales from $10,000 to $12,500 a year and, furthermore, will reduce labor and raw materials usage sufficiently to cut annual operating costs from $7,000 to $5,000. The new machine has an estimated salvage value of $4,000 at the end of its five-year life.
