Although the Chen Company’s milling machine is old, it is still in relatively good working order and would last for another 10 years. It is inefficient compared to modern standards, though, and so the company is considering replacing it. The new milling machine, at a cost of $110,000 delivered and installed, would also last for 10 years and would produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation tax savings) of $19,000 per year. It would have zero salvage value at the end of its life. The project cost of capital is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. Should Chen buy the new machine?
The following two statements concern depreciation: 1. Because our plant was shut down for part of the year, we will not depreciate it. Depreciating it for the full year would increase our costs and overstate the inventory. 2. I think we should have increasing depreciation expense each period because it will increase the funds recovered near the end of the assets life when maintenance costs are high and we will need to replace the asset. Also, I think tax rates will be higher toward the end of the assets life, so we will be better off to have a larger amount of depreciation expense then. Required: Prepare a short report that evaluates each of the following statements separately.
Dauten is offered a replacement machine which has a cost of 8,000, an estimated useful life of 6 years, and an estimated salvage value of 800. The replacement machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase- The replacement machine would permit an output expansion, so sales would rise by 1,000 per year; even so, the new machines much greater efficiency would cause operating expenses to decline by 1,500 per year The new machine would require that inventories be increased by 2,000, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by 500. Dautens marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%, and its WACC is 11%. Should it replace the old machine?
Talbot Industries is considering launching a new product. The new manufacturing equipment will cost $17 million, and production and sales will require an initial $5 million investment in net operating working capital. The company’s tax rate is 25%. What is the initial investment outlay? The company spent and expensed $150,000 on research related to the new product last year. What is the initial investment outlay? Rather than build a new manufacturing facility, the company plans to install the equipment in a building it owns but is not now using. The building could be sold for $1.5 million after taxes and real estate commissions. What is the initial investment outlay?
The Golden Corporation is considering selling one of its old assembly machines. The machine, purchased for $30,000 3 years ago, had an expected life of 6 years and an expected salvage value of zero. Assume Evans uses simplified straight-line depreciation and could sell this machine for $8,000. Also assume Evans has a 34 percent marginal tax rate. What would be the taxes associated with this sale?
Jabba-Dabba-Doo Inc. renovated its warehouses exactly two years ago at a cost of $3.5 million. The renovations were considered leasehold improvements, so the cost was subject to straight-line depreciation for tax purposes. The firm will not need to renovate the warehouses for another three years (from today). Given that the firm’s marginal tax rate is 35% and required return is 12%, what is the present value of the remaining depreciation tax shields on the leasehold improvement? Ignore the half-year rule, and round your answer to the nearest dollar. Select one: a. $588,449 b. $359,629 c. $513,181 d. $630,069 e. $210,303
Genesis Corporation want to purchase a piece of machinery for $150,000 that will cost $20,000 to have it delivered and installed. Based on past information, they believe they can sell the machinery for $25,000 in 5 years. The company’s marginal tax rate is 34%. If the applicable CCA rate is 20% and the required return on this project is 15%, what is the present value of the CCA tax shield?
St. Johns River Shipyards is considering the replacement of an 8-year-old riveting machine with a new one that will increase earnings before depreciation from $30,000 to $44,000 per year. The new machine will cost $80,000, and it will have an estimated life of 8 years and no salvage value. The new riveting machine is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation at the time of purchase. The applicable corporate tax rate is 25%, and the firm's WACC is 18%. The old machine has been fully depreciated and has no salvage value. What is the NPV of the project? Negative value, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Should the old riveting machine be replaced by the new one? Yes or No
Easter Corporation will replace one of its assets with an updated model. The current asset was purchased two years ago at a cost of $70,000. It has been depreciated under MACRS using a five-year recovery period. The company can sell this existing asset for $30,000. The new asset is going to cost $80,000 and will also be depreciated under MACRS using a five-year recovery period. If the assumed tax rate is 40 percent on both ordinary income and capital gains, the initial investment will be equal to what amount after adjusting for taxes?
