An asset with a first cost of $10,000 is depreciated using 5-year MACRS recovery. The cash flow before taxes is estimated at $10,000 for the first 3 years and $5,000 thereafter as long as the asset is retained. The effective tax rate is 40% and money is worth 10% per year. Determine the present worth.

After 8 years of use, the heavy-truck engineoverhaul equipment at Pete’s Truck Repair was evaluated for replacement. Pete’s accountant used an after-tax MARR of 8% per year, Te of 30%, and a current market value of $25,000 to determine AW = $2100. The new equipment costs $75,000, uses SL depreciation over a 10-year recovery period, and has a $15,000 salvage estimate. Estimated CFBT is $15,000 per year. Pete asked his engineer son Ramon to determine if the new equipment should replace what is owned currently. From the accountant, Ramon learned the current equipment cost $20,000 when purchased and reached a zero book value several years ago. Help Ramon answer his father’s question.
A European candy manufacturing plant manager must select a new irradiation system to ensure the safety of specific ingredients, while being economical. The two alternatives available have the following estimates: System A B First Cost, $ –110,000 –85,000 CFBT, $ per Year 60,000 20,000 Life, Years 3 5 The company is in the 35% tax bracket and assumes classical straight line depreciation for alternative comparisons performed at an after-tax minimum acceptable rate of return (MARR) of 6% per year. A salvage value of zero is used when depreciation is calculated; however, system B can be sold after 5 years for an estimated 18% of its first cost. System A has no anticipated salvage value. Determine which is more economical using an annual worth (AW) analysis worked by hand. The annual worth analysis for system A is determined to be $ . The annual worth analysis for system B is determined to be $ .
An asset with a first cost of $9000 is depreciated using 5-year MACRS recovery. The CFBT is estimated at $10,000 for the first 4 years and $5000 thereafter as long as the asset is retained. The effective tax rate is 40%, and money is worth 10% per year. In present worth dollars, how much of the cash flow generated by the asset over its recovery period is lost to taxes?
A project capitalized for ₱37,000 invested in depreciable assets will earn a uniform, annual income of ₱23209 in 10 years. The cost for operation and maintenance total ₱9,000 a year, and annual taxes and insurance will cost 4% of the investment. The company expects its capital to earn 12% before income taxes. Determine the total annual cost of the project Using the Annual Worth method.
create a cash flow diagram/table An asset that is book-depreciated over a 5-year period by the straight line method has B3 = $62,000 with a depreciation charge of $26,000 per year. Determine (a) the first cost of the asset and (b) the assumed salvage value
New equipment to read 96-bit product codes thatare replacing old bar codes has just been purchasedby General Food Stores. As a trial, 1000 of theitems will be initially purchased. For book depreciation purposes (not tax), the total investmentof $50,000 will be written off over a 4-yearperiod, with no salvage value, by applying one ofthree methodsSL, 1.75% DB, or DDB. The objectiveis to have the largest amount of accumulateddepreciation after 2 years, in order to minimizethe lost depreciation if it is again necessary topurchase new-technology readers prior to the end ofthe 4-year useful life of the readers just purchased.You know that the answer is the DDB method, butyou must graphically demonstrate this result to yoursupervisor. Use a spreadsheet to do so.
An electronic balance costs BD9,000 and has an estimated salvage value of BD800 at the end of its 10 years life. What would be the book value after three years using the DDB? a. BD 4,608.00 b. BD 5,000.00 c. BD 5,100.00
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?

A new hybrid car was purchased by Pedernales Electric Cooperative as a courier vehicle to transport items between its 12 city offices. The car cost $35,000 and was retained for 5 years. Alternatively, it could have been retained for 100,000 miles. Salvage value is nil. Five-year DDB depreciation was applied. The car pool manager stated that he prefers UOP depreciation on vehicles because it writes off the first cost faster. Use the actual annual miles driven, listed below, to plot the book values for both methods. Determine which method would have removed the $35,000 faster. Show hand or spreadsheet solution, as instructed. Year 1 2 3 4 5 Miles driven, 1000 15 22 16 18 25
