During its current tax year (year one), a pharmaceutical company purchased a mixing tank that had a fair market price of $112,000. It replaced an older, smaller
mixing tank that had a BV of $15,000. Because a special promotion was underway, the old tank was used as a trade-in for the new one, and the cash price (including
be delivery and installation) was set at $95,000. The MACRS class life for the new mixing tank is 9.5 years.

Kappa Holdings is looking at a new system with an installed cost of $740,000. This cost
will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's 7-year life, at the end of which
the system can be salvaged for $102,000. The system will save the firm $217,000 per
year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net
working capital of $69,000, which will be returned at the end of the project.
If the tax rate is 22 percent and the discount rate is 9 percent, what is the NPV of this
project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal
places, e.g., 32.16.)
NPV
A manufacturer purchased and installed a shrink-wrap machine 4 years ago at a cost of $4,000. A new machine is now needed, and one is available for $7,000 less a $1,000 trade-in allowance for the old machine. The market value of the old machine without trade-in on a new model is $500. Which of the four dollar values above is a sunk cost that is irrelevant in a pre-tax engineering economic analysis?
Group of answer choices
$7,000
$1,000

- Equipment associated with manufacturing small railcars had the first cost of $170,000 with an expected salvage value of $30,000 at the end of its 5-year life. The revenue was $600,000 in year 2, with operating expenses of $98,000. If the company’s effective tax rate was 30%, what would be the difference in taxes paid in year 2 if the depreciation method were straight line instead of Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS)? The MACRS depreciation rate for year 2 is 32%.

- Ms. T. Potts, the treasurer of Ideal China, has a problem. The company has just ordered a new kiln for $400,000. Of this sum, $50,000 is described by the supplier as an installation cost. Ms. Potts does not know whether the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will permit the company to treat this cost as a tax-deductible current expense or as a capital investment. In the latter case, the company could depreciate the $50,000 straight-line over 5 years. The tax rate is 30% and the opportunity cost of capital is 5%. What is the present value of the cost of the kiln if the installation cost is treated as a separate current expense?
