- 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.arrow_forwardEquipment associated with manufacturing small railcars had the first cost of $170,000 with an expected salvage value of $30,000 at the end of its 5-year life. The revenue was $600,000 in year 2, with operating expenses of $98,000. If the company’s effective tax rate was 30%, what would be the difference in taxes paid in year 2 if the depreciation method were straight line instead of Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS)? The MACRS depreciation rate for year 2 is 32%. The difference in taxes paid is determined to be $?arrow_forwardI 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…arrow_forward
- A touch-sensitive assembly robot that costs $300,000 had a depreciable life of 5 years with an expected $50,000 salvage value when purchased 3 years ago. Using MACRS depreciation, determine any DR, CG, or CL if the company sold the robot after 3 years for $80,000.arrow_forwardA company purchases a machine for $800,000. The equipment qualifies as 5-year property for MACRS-GDS depreciation. Before-tax cash flows are as shown below, including a $200,000 salvage value after 5 years. Using a 25% income-tax rate, determine the ATCF for each year and the after-tax PW, AW, IRR, and ERR using an 8% MARRAT.arrow_forwardAn Industrial plant bought a generator set for P90,000. Other expenses including installation amounted to P10,000. The generator set is to have a life of 17 years with a salvage value at the end of life of P5,000. Determine the depreciation charge during the 13th year and the book value at the end of 13 years by sum of the year's digit method.arrow_forward
- Plant Company is contemplating the purchase of a new piece of equipment for $40,000. Plant is in the 20% income tax bracket. Predicted annual after-tax cash inflows from this investment are $14,000, $12,000, $5,000, $13,000 and $1,000 for years 1 through 5, respectively. The firm uses straight-line depreciation with no residual value at the end of five years. The hurdle rate for accepting new capital investment projects is 4%, after-tax. The estimated accounting rate of return (ARR) on this project (rounded to two decimal points), based on the initial investment is: Multiple Choice 2.50%. 3.16%. 6.50%. 9.83%. 11.83%.arrow_forwardA company purchased factory equipment on January 1, 2021 for $84,000.
