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%.
(Note: Don't use the $ sign in your answer and round it up to 2 decimal
places)
A contractor is considering the purchase of a set
of machine tools at a cost of $50,000. The
purchase is expected to generate profits of
$19,000 (revenues less expenses) per year in
each of the next 4 years Additional profits will be
taxed at a rate of 40%. The asset is depreciated
by straight-line method with zero salvage value.
The contractor's real after-tax MARR is 10%
(25%)
1). What is the PW of this investment? Should the
contractor purchase the machine tools?
2). What is the PW of this investment if the general
inflation is 3% in the 4 year period? Should the
contractor purchase the machine tools?
In year 0 you purchase an asset for $500,000 and in year 1 you receive a positive cash flow of
s100,000 from operating the asset. Following a MACRS 7-year depreciation schedule (year 1
recovery rate of 14.29 percent) and assuming you are in a 39% tax bracket, what is your year 1
after tax cash flow (ATCF) to the nearest $50 ?
a)
$400,000
b) $28,550
c)
$11,250
d)
$88,750
e)
$380,750

Also it borrows the money to build the factory at 8% interest. The factory has a capacity of 400,000 chips per year that sell for $30 apiece. Labor costs are $1.5 million, and raw material costs are $0.5 million. Ongoing research and development costs are $3 million. The factory sells all its chips to the Itty Bitty Machine company, which manufactures 40,000 computers a year that sell (wholesale) for $800 each. That factory costs $35 million to build, with the same rate of interest and depreciation as the semiconductor factory. Besides paying for the chips, the costs are $4 million for labor, $2 million for other parts (half of which are imported), and $2.5 million for ongoing R&D.
