- One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $90,000. You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages and you can purchase it for $145,000 today. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years and has no salvage value. You expect that the new machine will produce a gross margin (revenues minus operating expenses other than depreciation) of $45,000 per year for the next 10 years. The current machine is expected to produce a gross margin of $22,000 per year. The current machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 11 years, and has no salvage value, so depreciation expense for the current machine is $8,182 per year. The market value today of the current machine is $60,000. Your company's tax rate is 42%, and the opportunity cost of capital for this type of equipment is 10%.

- You have purchased a sand blaster booth for $10,000. The equipment has a useful life of 8 years and will be depreciated to zero using the SOYD method over that period of time. Assume that the salvage in year n is equal to the book value (i.e., zero after the depreciation). In the first year, operating costs are expected to be $1000, increasing by 30% in each subsequent year (this means simply a linear increase of costs each year). a. Draw the cash flow diagram without considering depreciation. This method will help you understand what is going on for costs and investments. b. If your MARR is 10%, then what is the economic life of the equipment? C. Attach a file containing your diagram, calculations and your economic life answer. An Excel file, with proper notations and diagrams, is acceptable.arrow_forwardThe 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%.
