A company purchases an industrial laser for $150,000. The device has a useful life of ten years and a salvage value (market value) at the end of those ten years of $20,000. The before-tax cash flow is estimated to be $80,000 per year. You, of course, suggested applying the Seven-year MACRS (GDS) method instead of the straight-line method. Based on the MACRS depreciation schedule for this asset, if the industrial laser was sold for $60,000 in year four what will be the amount of gain (depreciation recapture) or loss on the disposal of the asset at the end of this year? (Positive number for gain and negative number for loss)

I need help in figuring out the step by step procedure, performing the operations and calculations manually, using formulas. One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $110,000. The current machine is expected to produce EBITDA of $20,000 per year. The current machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 11 years, after which it will have no salvage value, so depreciation expense for the current machine is $10,000 per year. The market value today of the current machine is $50,000. You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages; you can purchase it for $150,000 today. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years, after which it has no salvage value. You expect that the new machine will produce EBITDA (earning before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of $40,000 per year for the next 10 years. All other expenses of the two machines are identical.Your company’s tax…
A telephone company purchased microwave radio equipment for P6,000,000. Freight and installation charges amounted to 3% of the purchased price. If the equipment shall be depreciated over a period of 8 years with a salvage value of 7%, determine the following: Determine the depreciation charge during the 5th year and the book value at the end of 5 years by the (a) declining balance method (b) double declining balance method (c) sinking fund method at 12%
A crane rental company has acquired a new heavy-duty crane for $280,000. The company calculates depreciation on this equipment on the basis of number of rentals per year, and the salvage value of the crane at the end of its 12-year life is $40,000. If the crane is rented an average of 133 days per year, what is the depreciation rate per rental? The depreciation is per day of rent. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
