- A machine now in use was purchased four years ago at a cost of $30,000. It has a book value of $9,369. It can be sold for $12,000, but it could be used for three more years, at the end of which time, it would have no salvage value. What is the current amount of economic depreciation for this asset? Choose from the folowing, $12,000 $18,000 $32,000 $48,000arrow_forwardYour 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.arrow_forwardAtlantic 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.

- Acme-Denver Corporation is considering the replacement of an old, relatively inefficient surface-grinder machine that was purchased seven years ago at a cost of $12,000. 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.

The truck falls into the MACRS seven-year classification (the tax life), and it will be sold after five years (the project life) for $55,000. The purchase of the truck will have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $65,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm's marginal tax rate is 20%. Assume that the initial investment is to be financed by a bank loan at an interest rate of 10% payable annually. Determine the after-tax cash flows and the net present worth of the investment for this project if the firm's MARR is known to be 15%. A company considerings acquiring a new heavy-duty truck.

The machine had an expected life of 10 years at the time of purchase, and it is being depreciated by the straight-line method by $9,000 per year. If the machine is not replaced, it can be sold for $10,000 at the end of its useful life. A new machine can be purchased for $150,000, including installation costs. During its 5-year life, it will reduce cash operating expenses by $40,000 per year. Sales are not expected to change. At the end of its useful life, the machine is estimated to be worthless. The new machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase. The old machine can be sold today for $50,000. The firm's tax rate is 25%. The appropriate WACC is 9%.

The company will need to do replacement analysis to determine which option is the best financial decision for the company. Price Co. is considering replacing an existing piece of equipment. The project involves the following: • The new equipment will have a cost of $2,400,000, and it is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation so it will be fully depreciated at t = 0. • The old machine was purchased before the new tax law, so it is being depreciated on a straight-line basis. It has a book value of $200,000 (at year 0) and four more years of depreciation left ($50,000 per year). • The new equipment will have a salvage value of $0 at the end of the project's life (year 6).
