A chemical plant worth P 110M has an estimated life of 6 years and a projected scrap value of P 10M. after 3 years of operation an explosion made it a total loss. How much money would have to be raised to put up a new plant costing P 150M, if depreciation reserved had been maintained during its 3 years of operation by Straight Line method?

A P110,000 chemical plant had an estimated life of 6 years. and a projected scrap value of P10,000. After 3 years of operation an explosion made it a total loss. How much money would have to be raised to put up a new plant costing P150,000 if a depreciation reserved have been maintained during its 3 years of operation by sinking fund method at 6%.

A machine has an initial cost of P50,000 and a salvage value of P10,000 after 10 years. What is the straight-line method depreciation rate as a percentage of the initial cost? With Cash flow diagram
Peachtree Construction Company, a highway contractor, is considering the purchase of a new trench excavator that costs 300000 and can dig a 3-foot-wide trench at the rate of 16 feet per hour. The contractor gets paid according to the usage of the equipment, 100 per hour. The expected average annual usage is 500 hours, and maintenance and operating costs will be 10 per hour. The contractor will depreciate the equipment by using a five-year MACRS, units-of-production method. At the end of five years, the excavator will be sold for 100000. Assuming the contractor’s marginal tax rate is 25% per year, determine the annual after-tax cash flow. In excel.
A fixed capital investment of ₱87,000,000 is required for a proposed manufacturing plant and an estimated working capital of ₱3,000,000. Annual depreciation is estimated to be 11% of the fixed capital investment. Annual revenue is ₱2778,000.What is the payback period (in years) of the proposed manufacturing plant?
Phones right now has a fast rate of depreciation because of newer models with upgraded specifications. The expected depreciation of phones is at a rate of 35%. If one unit cost P14,999, what will be its selling price after 2 years?
A factory equipment has an initial cost of P200,000,00. It salvage value after 10 years is P20,000,00. As a percentage of the initial cost, what is the straight line depreciation rate of the equipment?
Eads Industrial Systems Company (EISC) is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $427,000, has a 6-year life, and requires $115,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $502,000, has an 8-year life, and requires $79,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Both systems are to be depreciated straight-line to zero over their lives and will have a zero salvage value. Whichever system is chosen, it will not be replaced when it wears out. The tax rate is 33 percent and the discount rate is 24 percent. Which system should the firm choose and why? a.No option is correct b.System A because its net present value is -$588,792 c.System B because its net present value is -$612,240 d.System A because its net present value is $211,516
A California utility firm is considering building a 50-megawatt geothermalplant that generates electricity from naturally occurring underground heal. The binary geothermal system will cost $85 million to build and $6 million (including any income-tax effect) to operate per year. (Unlike a conventional fossilfuel plant, this system will require virtually no fuel costs.) The geothermal plant is to last 25 years. At the end of that time, the expected salvage value will be about the same as the cost to remove the plant. The plant will be in operation for 70% (the plant-utilization factor) of the year (or 70% of 8,760 hours per year). If the firm's MARR is 14% per year, determine the cost of generating electricity per kilowatt-hour.
A firm can purchase a centrifugal separator (5-year MACRS property) for $22,000. The estimated salvage value is $4,000 after a useful life of six years. Operating and maintenance (O&M) costs for the first year are expected to be $2,200. These O&M costs are projected to increase by $1,000 per year each year thereafter. The income tax rate is 24% and the MARR is 11% after taxes. What must the uniform annual benefits be for the purchase of the centrifugal separator to be economical on an after-tax basis?
