Concept explainers

Capital Gain

Any capital asset when sold can give the seller a higher or lower price from its purchase price leading to a capital gain or capital loss. The time period of holding an asset is decided based on if it is a long term or short-term capital gain. On that basis, the rate of taxation is decided if it is 20%, 15% or according to the tax brackets. The rate of taxation differs in the case of equity or debt, whether long or short term. The capital gain can be adjusted from capital loss to arrive at a net capital gain. The amount of gains and the exemption has to be reported in the tax return filed in the financial year in which the asset was transferred. The tax return can be filed quarterly, monthly, semi-annually or annually.

Ms. T. Potts, the treasurer of Ideal China, has a problem. The company has just ordered a new kiln for $450,000. Of this sum, $55,000 is described by the supplier as an installation cost. Ms. Potts does not know whether the company will need to treat this cost as a tax-deductible current expense or as a capital investment. In the latter case, the company could depreciate the $55,000 straight-line over five years. How will the tax authority’s decision affect the after-tax cost of the kiln? The tax rate is 25%, and the opportunity cost of capital is 5%. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

• Massey Machine Shop is considering a project to improve their production efficiency.
