Q1: Consider the following data:
Cost basis of the asset, I = $10,000, Useful life, N = 5 years, & Estimated salvage value, S = $2,000.
Use the straight-line depreciation method to compute the annual depreciation allowances and the resulting book values.
Use the Declining Balance method to compute the annual depreciation allowances and the resulting book values.
Answer the given question with a proper explanation and step-by-step solution.
A Canadian engineering company just bought a bending machine for $50,000. Its service life is 10 years, and afterwards its salvage value will be $2,000. Services provided by the machine are expected to bring $10,000 in annual revenues, and operating costs were estimated at $2,000 per year. Assume that the CCA rate is equal to the depreciation rate, the after-tax interest rate is 5% and the corporate tax rate is 30%. Calculate the present worth of
