Looking for answers. I have attached images below. Thanks! Barry Cabs is a sole proprietorship that owns and operates one taxi cab. The company purchased its cab 5 years ago for $40,000. When itpurchased the cab it expected it to be useful for 8 years with a residual value of $5,000. Barry thinks he could sell the cab today for $14,000.Barry is considering replacing the old cab with a new, all-electric taxi. The all electric car would cost $60,000 and would have an expected usefullife of 8 years. Over its 8 year life, the cab would reduce annual operating costs (mostly gas and maintenance) by $8,000 per year for the first 6years, and $10,000 per year thereafter. After 8 years, it is expected the taxi would have a $2,000 residual value. Barry's cost of borrowing is 15%and assume no tax implications.Required:1 What is the payback period for replacing the exiting cab with the new electric taxi? (2 marks)2 What is the net present value of replacing the existing cab with the new electric one? (4 marks)3 What is the internal rate of return for replacing the existing cab with the new electric one? (2 marks)4 What is the profitability index for replacing the existing cab with the new electric one? (2 marks) Bloom Corp. produces one product that sells at $20 per unit and sells best on Valentine's Day and Mother'sDay. As a result peak sales occur in February and May of each year.

Alfredo Company purchased a new 3-D printer for $900,000. Although this printer is expected to last for ten years, Alfredo knows the technology will become old quickly, and so they plan to replace this printer in three years. At that point, Alfredo believes it will be able to sell the printer for $15,000. Calculate yearly depreciation using the double-declining-balance method.
Tuttle Construction Co. specializes in building replicas of historic houses. Tim Newman, president of Tuttle Construction, is considering the purchase of various items of equipment on July 1, 2014, for 400,000. The equipment would have a useful life of five years and no residual value. In the past, all equipment has been leased. For tax purposes, Tim is considering depreciating the equipment by the straight-line method. He discussed the matter with his CPA and learned that, although the straight-line method could be elected, it was to his advantage to use the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) for tax purposes. He asked for your advice as to which method to use for tax purposes. 1. Compute depreciation for each of the years (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019) of useful life by (a) the straight-line method and (b) MACRS. In using the straight-line method, one-half years depreciation should be computed for 2014 and 2019. Use the MACRS rates presented in Exhibit 9. 2. Assuming that income before depreciation and income tax is estimated to be 750,000 uniformly per year and that the income tax rate is 40%, compute the net income for each of the years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 if (a) the straight-line method is used and (b) MACRS is used. 3. What factors would you present for Tims consideration in the selection of a depreciation method?

Valley Pizza’s owner bought his current pizza oven two years ago for $9,000, and it has one more year of life remaining. He is using straight-line depreciation for the oven. He could purchase a new oven for $1,900, but it would last only one year. The owner figures the new oven would save him $2,600 in annual operating expenses compared to operating the old one. Consequently, he has decided against buying the new oven, since doing so would result in a “loss” of $400 over the next year. Required:1. How do you suppose the owner came up with $400 as the loss for the next year if the new pizza oven were purchased? Explain.2. Criticize the owner’s analysis and decision.3. Prepare a correct analysis of the owner’s decision.
John's Auto is a successful business that has a substantial profit each year. The auto dealership has purchased an antique car for $11,000. John, the proprietor, is almost certain that it will go up in price, and from the research he has done he believes that he can sell the car for $18,000 in 4 years. Although he plans to sell the car for more than it is worth currently, the government still allows him to claim depreciation at a CCA rate of 30%. Maria, one of his accountants, says John should not bother claim CCA because it won't save him money overall, and it will just mean he will have to pay back all his tax savings from years 1 to 3 at the end of year 4. Another accountant, Jesse, claims that John should still depreciate the vehicle each year because it will save him money overall, even though he will probably have to pay the government a significant amount of tax in year 4. What should John do and why? Support your answer with detailed calculations (hint: develop a very…
Richard Rambo presently owns the Marine Tower office building, which is 20 years old, and is considering renovating it. He purchased the property two years ago for $800,000 and financed it with a 20-year, 75 percent loan at 4.5 percent interest (monthly payments). Of the $800,000, the appraiser indicated that the land was worth $200,000 and the building $600,000. Rambo has been using straight-line depreciation over 39 years (1/39 per year for simplicity). At the present time Marine Tower is producing $52,000 in NOI, and the NOI and property value are expected to increase 2 percent per year. The current market value of the property is $820,000. Rambo estimates that if the Marine Tower office building is renovated at a cost of $200,000, NOI will be about 20 percent higher next year ($62,400 vs. $52,000) due to higher rents and lower expenses. He also expects that with the renovation the NOI will increase 3 percent per year instead of 2 percent. Furthermore, Rambo believes that after five…

Benton is a rental car company that is trying to determine whether to add 25 cars to its fleet. The company fully depreciates all its rental cars over six years using the straight-line method. The new cars are expected to generate $195,000 per year in earnings before taxes and depreciation for six years. The company is entirely financed by equity and has a 23 percent tax rate. The required return on the company’s unlevered equity is 13 percent and the new fleet will not change the risk of the company. The risk-free rate is 6 percent. a. What is the maximum price that the company should be willing to pay for the new fleet of cars if it remains an all-equity company? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. Suppose the company can purchase the fleet of cars for $675,000. Additionally, assume the company can issue $470,000 of six-year debt to finance the project at the risk-free rate of 6 percent. All principal will…
Raul Martinas, a professor of languages at Eastern University, owns a small office building adjacent to the university campus. He acquired the property 10 years ago at a total cost of $559,000—that is, $52,000 for the land and $507,000 for the building. He has just received an offer from a realty company that wants to purchase the property; however, the property has been a good source of income over the years, and so Martinas is unsure whether he should keep it or sell it. His alternatives are as follows: a. Keep the property. Martinas’s accountant has kept careful records of the income realized from the property over the past 10 years. These records indicate the following annual revenues and expenses: Martinas makes a $12,675 mortgage payment each year on the property. The mortgage will be paid off in eight more years. He has been depreciating the building by the straight-line method, assuming a salvage value of $76,050 for the building, which he still thinks is an appropriate figure.…
Lee and Barbara Fletcher own Boos and Roos Antiques and they have decided to sell the business so they can move to Sarasota, FL to be near their son and get away from winter once and for all. Boos and Roos is located in a small, stand-alone building that it owns. Lee and Barbara originally purchased the building for $275,000 and it is currently appraised at $675,000.

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%.
