• 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?

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_forward[EXCEL] Investment cash flows: Zippy Corporation just purchased computing equipment for $20,000.

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. Find the net present value.arrow_forwardb. eBook The Lesseig Company has an opportunity to invest in one of two mutually exclusive machines that will produce a product the company will need for the next a years, Machine A has an after-tax Jost of $8.7 million but will provide after-tax inflows of $4.9 million per year for 4 years.
