Depreciation
Equipment bought for P 87,000.00 is expected to last for 24 years. If the scrapvalue after 20 years is P 60,000.00. How much is the depreciation for year 12?
Tanaka Industrial Systems Company is trying to decide between two different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $275,000, has a 4-year life, and requires $81,000 in pretax annual operating costs. System B costs $355,000, has a 6-year life, and requires $75,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Both systems are to be depreciated straight-line to zero over their lives and will have zero salvage value. Suppose the company always needs a conveyor belt system; when one wears out, it must be replaced. Assume the tax rate is 22 percent and the discount rate is 9 percent. Calculate the EAC for both conveyor belt systems.
Liberty Airways is considering an investment of$800,000 in ticket purchasing kiosks at selected airports.The kiosks (hardware and software) have an expectedlife of four years. Extra ticket sales are expected to be60,000 per year at a discount price of $40 per ticket.Fixed costs, excluding depreciation of the equipment,are $400,000 per year, and variable costs are $24 perticket. The kiosks will be depreciated over four years,using the SL method with a zero salvage value. Theonetime commitment of working capital is expected tobe 1/12 of annual sales dollars. The after-tax MARR is15% per year, and the company pays income tax at therate of 34%. What’s the after-tax PW of this proposedinvestment? Should the investment be made?

The machine will cost $180,000. With additional transportation and installation costs of $5,000 and $10,000, respectively, the cost basis for depreciation purposes is $195,000. Its MV at the end of five years is estimated as $40,000. The IRS has assured you that this machine will fall under a three-year MACRS class life category. The justifications for this machine include $40,000 savings per year in labor and $30,000 savings per year in reduced materials. The before-tax MARR is 20% per year, and the effective income tax rate is 40%.

The Techron I costs $228,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $59,000 per year. The Techron II costs $400,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $32,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project’s life and assume a salvage value of $36,000. If your tax rate is 24 percent and your discount rate is 8 percent, compute the EAC for both machines. Note: Your answer should be a negative value and indicated by a minus sign.
