Material-handling equipment used in the manufacture of grain products (MACRS-GDS 10-year property) is purchased and installed for $180,000. It is placed in service in the middle of the tax year. If it is removed just before the end of the tax year approximately 4.5 years from the date placed in service, determine the depreciation deduction during each of the tax years involved using MACRS-GDS allowances. ———————- Repeat the previous problem if the material-handling equipment is removed just after the tax year, again using MACRS-GDS allowances.

ABC Corporation makes its policy that for every new equipment purchased, the annual depreciation should not exceed 20% of the first cost at any time without salvage value. Determine the length of service if the depreciation used is the SOYD Method.
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 granary has two options for a conveyor used in the manufacture of grain for transporting, filling, or emptying. One conveyor can be purchased and installed for $70,000 with $3,000 salvage value after 16 years. The other can be purchased and installed for $110,000 with $4,000 salvage value after 16 years. Operation and maintenance for each is expected to be $18,000 and $14,000 per year, respectively. The granary uses MACRS-GDS depreciation, has a income-tax rate of 25%, and a MARR of 9% after taxes. Use MACRS-GDS(10) with 50% bonus depreciation.

A granary has two options for a conveyor used in the manufacture of grain for transporting, filling, or emptying. One conveyor can be purchased and installed for $ 60,000 with $ 4,500 salvage value after 16 years. The other can be purchased and installed for $120,000 with $ 4,000 salvage value after 16 years.
