Tax credit; uncertainty regarding sustainability
• LO16–9
Delta Catfish Company has taken a position in its tax return to claim a tax credit of $10 million (direct reduction in taxes payable) and has determined that its sustainability is “more likely than not,” based on its technical merits. Delta has developed the probability table shown below of all possible material outcomes ($ in millions):
Delta’s taxable income is $85 million for the year. Its effective tax rate is 40%. The tax credit would be a direct reduction in current taxes payable.
Required:
1. At what amount would Delta measure the tax benefit in its income statement?
2. Prepare the appropriate

- QUESTION 1 A new machine is to be purchased for $200,000. The company believes it will generate $75,000 annually in revenue due to the purchase of this machine. The company will have to train an operator to run this machine and this will result in additional labor expenses of $25,000 annually. The new machine will be depreciated using 5 years MACRS, even though the life of the project is 7 years, and the salvage value is estimated to be $0 at the end of year 7. The tax rate is 40% and the company's MARR is 15%.arrow_forwardCompany X is considering two investment options. Both options require an investment-$400,000.

What is the tax shield resulting from these tax-deductible shutdown costs (where a negative number means a cash outflow and a positive number means an incremental cash inflow)? A project will incur $700 in shutdown costs the year after the completion of the project. The tax rate is 35%. What is the tax shield resulting from these tax- deductible shutdown costs (where a negative number means a cash outflow and a positive number means an incremental cash inflow)? An investment of $83 generates after-tax cash flows of $50.00 in Year 1, $72.00 in Year 2, and $125.00 in Year 3. The required rate of return is 20 percent.

If Machine A were replaced, es after-tax cost would be $9.9 million due to inflation and its after-tax cash inflows would increase to $5.4 million due to production efficiencies Machine has an after-tax cost of $13 million and will provide after-tax inflows of $4.2 million per year for 8 years. If the WACC is 8%, which machine should be acquired? Explain, Enter your answers in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. Do not round intermediate calculations.

The two alternatives available have the following estimates: System First Cost, $ CFBT, $ per Year Life, Years A -115,000 60,000 3 B -70,000 20,000 5 The company is in the 35% tax bracket and assumes classical straight line depreciation for alternative comparisons performed at an after-tax minimum acceptable rate of return (MARR) of 7% per year. A salvage value of zero is used when depreciation is calculated; however, system B can be sold after 5 years for an estimated 20% of its first cost. System A has no anticipated salvage value. Determine which is more economical using an annual worth (AW) analysis worked by hand. The annual worth analysis for system A is determined to be $ 8590.16 The annual worth analysis for system B is determined to be $ -4284.96 System A is…arrow_forwardQC 12.arrow_forward
