A firm can purchase a centrifugal separator (5-year MACRS property) for
$22,000.
The estimated salvage value is
$4,000
after a useful life of six years. Operating and maintenance (O&M) costs for the first year are expected to be
$2,200.
These O&M costs are projected to increase by
$1,000
per year each year thereafter. The income tax rate is
24%
and the MARR is
11%
after taxes. What must the uniform annual benefits be for the purchase of the centrifugal separator to be economical on an after-tax basis?
The Shell Corporation has a 34% tax rate and owns a piece of petroleum-drilling
equipment that costs $119,000 and will be depreciated at a CCA rate of 30%. Shell will
lease the equipment to others and each year receive $33,100 in rent. At the end of
five years, the firm will sell the equipment for $31,600. All values are presented in
today's dollars.
Calculate the overall present worth of these cash flows with tax effects if market
interest rate is 10% and annual inflation rate is 2%.
