- One division of your company restores old antique vehicles. For example, the company just bought an old car for $23,000 and guesses that they can sell the car for $46,000 in 3 years after a few repairs and after they take the vehicle to some car shows etc. They think the cost of fixing the car will be about $2,000 each year for the next 3 years. One employee, Roger, thinks that there is no use in claiming CCA (depreciation) over the next 3 years as the selling price will be higher than the purchase price. Harpeet, however, says that even though CCA recapture and or capital gains will likely have to be paid, it will still be worth claiming CCA on this antique vehicle each year. Who is correct, and why? (hint: develop a very simple income statement/cash flow statement for each scenario). Make sure to justify your answer with detailed calculations. MARR is 10%, and the tax rate is 40%. The CCA rate is 30%.arrow_forwardThe council members of a small town have decided that the earth levee that protects the town from flooding should be rebuilt and strengthened.

- Earlier this week you closed a deal to sell 20 houses you constructed in a new neighborhood. Like any other product that a business sells, these houses were considered inventory until you sold them. The houses were sold to another developer who is buying the surrounding land and would like to enlarge the neighborhood; as a result, he would like to control marketing and sales for the entire development. The developer bought the houses at a slightly discounted price to facilitate their resale at a profit. You benefited from the sale because you avoided the necessity of selling the houses one at a time and the risk of carrying unsold inventory. How should this $4 million be categorized on your income statement? Oa. Should appear as net income on the income statement. O b. Should not appear on the income statement because you received cash. Oc. Should appear as operating income on the income statement. Od. Should appear as revenue on the income statement.arrow_forwardYou have been hired as a consultant PUTZ inc, manufacturers of fine zithers. The market for zithers is growing quickly. The company bought some land three years ago for $1.9 million in anticipation of using it as a toxic waste dump site but has recently hired another company to handle all toxic materials. Based on a recent appraisal, the company believes it could sell the land for $2.2 million on an after-tax basis. In four years, the land could be sold for $2.4 million after taxes. The company also hired a marketing firm to analyze the zither market, at a cost of $275,000. An excerpt of the marketing report is as follows: The zither industry will have a rapid expansion in the next four years. With the brand name recognition that PUTZ brings to bear, we feel that the company will be able to sell 5,200, 5,900, 6,500, and 4,800 units each year for the next four years, respectively. Again, capitalizing on the name recognition of PUTZ, we feel that a premium price of $435 can be charged…arrow_forwardBob's Bee Emporium makes organic honey, which Bob sells at farmers' markets. The value of his Bee Emporium in its current location is $100,000. Unfortunately, Bob's bee's frequently fly to the neighboring property, Daisy's Daycare Center, and sting the small children, some of whom have allergic reaction to the bee stings. Daisy's Daycare Center business is worth $100,000, before the cost of treating any of the children, which the Daycare Center has to pay. The cost of treating the children for the bee stings is $15,000 per year. Relocating the Bee Emporium would reduce its value by $25,000. Relocating the Daycare Center would cost $10,000. The table below shows the value of the businesses under the above conditions.
