For the depreciation part, we adopted the straight-line method. Here since the depreciation of year 1984 was $1270, we just assumed all the depreciation amount to be equal to $1270 till the year 1989. With all of these previous assumptions, we obtain the complete pro forma financial statement and the cash flow table for the Collinsville Plant.

f) Yes, Jane can depreciate the vehicle and her jewelry making machine. The equipment can be depreciated with MACRS or

1. The first step to evaluating the cash flows is to conduct the depreciation tax flow analysis. Depreciation is not a cash flow, but the depreciation expense lows the taxes payable for the company. As a result, the tax effect of deprecation needs to be calculated as a cash flow. There are two depreciable items on the company's balance sheet the building and the equipment. The equipment is known to have a seven year depreciable life, which will be assumed to be straight line. The building is also assumed to be subject to straight line depreciation, this time of forty years. The tax saving reflects the depreciation expense multiplied by the tax rate, which in this case is assumed to be 28%. The following table illustrates the tax effect in future dollars of the depreciation expense:

| In Year 1, depreciation is $5,000 plus 15% of the asset’s outlayFrom Year 2, depreciation is either * 30% of the asset’s book value; or * if the asset’s book value is less than $6,500, depreciation is the asset’s book value (i.e. asset is depreciated to zero once book value < $6,500)

2) For year 1 the new system depreciated by 20 percent. Multiply that by the net initial investment and you get the total amount depreciated after 1 year, equal to $60,588. With a 36 percent tax rate you get the depreciated tax savings of $21,812.

c. Smaller payments mean more time in debt. d. Your lower interest loans also get rolled into the deal so you end up with minimal savings.

Finally, our net book value in 2010 will be $122,050.10, which is the difference between the new 2010 leasehold improvement and the accumulated depreciation of leasehold improvements:

1. (10 pts.) Stella Ann Freeman is having a difficult time deciding whether or not to purchase a new car. How would understanding the concept of opportunity costs help her make a decision?

4. In 2013, Allen Anders sold an asset which cost $70,000. Allen incorrectly claimed $40,000 depreciation over a five-year period. He should have claimed $50,000 depreciation. What was the adjusted basis when sold?

My parents receive an earned income, meaning they work for it, unlike unearned income like child support and disability. My mom works as a Human Resources Director; she over sees all investigations in her facility and hires and fires people. My dad works as an Operations Sales Manager, so he over sees all of the different sales. They both have salary wages, so their income isn’t based on hours.

26 USC § 168 (c) the building has 39 year recovery period. The calculation of depreciation for each year is found by multiplying the MACRS value for the relevant year by the cost of the nonresidential real property at the time of purchase. The basis at the time of contribution is found by summing the depreciation values for each year with one exception, the MACRS value for 2012 must be adjusted for the percentage of the year that the property was under the partnership. This is calculated by multiplying the MACRS value by the percentage of the year completed at the time of contribution. See the calculations below:

ii. Using double- declining method, the first year ending balance of $6,404 is subtracted form the proceeds of the sale netting in a gain of $1,096 on the disposal. Once this is subtracted form the previous years depreciation $4,269, you get a total income statement impact of $3,173.

The actual production would begin in the third quarter of this year, therefore only half year’s depreciation should be counted on Equipment and IT communication in 2004 (According to Appendix A). The following years (2005-2008) incremental cash flows are computed by the same method. However as the IT equipment and furnishings would be depreciated on a straight line basis over 3 years, thus in year four (2007), there would be only half a year’s deprecation left and after that it will be used up. The last year’s net cash flow in 2009 should be included the extra terminal Value on that year, which includes 24 years’ residual value on building and one year and a half residual value on equipment totaled $2,990,412 with two assumptions of by using residual book values for the building and operating equipment and there will be no further NWS advantage after year 2009. Finally, by obtaining 6 years’ incremental cash-flows and discounting them back to time zero (with the estimate rate of return by 15%) lessing initial cost to get an appealing NPV of $1190528 (Luehrman, p. 3).

1. An international bank loaned money to an emerging country a few years ago. Because of the nonpayment of interest due on this loan, the bank is now negotiating with the borrower to exchange the loan for Brady bonds. The Brady bonds that would be issued would be either par bonds or discount bonds with the same time to maturity.
