Bree Andrus. president of Einstein Construction, is considering the purchase of various items of equipment on July 1. 20Y2. for $300,000. The equipment would have a useful life of five years and no residual value. In the past, all equipment has been leased. For tax purposes, Bee is considenng depreciating the equipment by the straight-line method. She discussed the matter with her CPA and learned that although the straight-line method could be elected, it was to her advantage to use the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) for tax purposes.

The machine is being depreciated on a straight- line basis, and it has 6 years of remaining life. Its current book value is $2,400, and it can be sold for $2,600 at this time. Thus, the anual depreciation expense is $2,400/6= $400 per year. If the old machine is not replaced, it can be sold for $500 at the end of its useful life. Dauten offered a replacement machine which has a cost of $10,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of $800. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase. The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would arise by $1,000 per year; even so, the new machine's much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses simultaneously increase by $500.
