Tax credit; uncertainty regarding sustainability
• LO16–9
Delta Catfish Company has taken a position in its tax return to claim a tax credit of $10 million (direct reduction in taxes payable) and has determined that its sustainability is “more likely than not,” based on its technical merits. Delta has developed the probability table shown below of all possible material outcomes ($ in millions):
Delta’s taxable income is $85 million for the year. Its effective tax rate is 40%. The tax credit would be a direct reduction in current taxes payable.
Required:
1. At what amount would Delta measure the tax benefit in its income statement?
2. Prepare the appropriate

The tax rate is 35%. What is the tax shield resulting from these tax-deductible shutdown costs (where a negative number means a cash outflow and a positive number means an incremental cash inflow)? A project will incur $700 in shutdown costs the year after the completion of the project. The tax rate is 35%. What is the tax shield resulting from these tax- deductible shutdown costs (where a negative number means a cash outflow and a positive number means an incremental cash inflow)? An investment of $83 generates after-tax cash flows of $50.00 in Year 1, $72.00 in Year 2, and $125.00 in Year 3. The required rate of return is 20 percent. Find the net present value.arrow_forward
- b. eBook The Lesseig Company has an opportunity to invest in one of two mutually exclusive machines that will produce a product the company will need for the next a years, Machine A has an after-tax Jost of $8.7 million but will provide after-tax inflows of $4.9 million per year for 4 years. If Machine A were replaced, es after-tax cost would be $9.9 million due to inflation and its after-tax cash inflows would increase to $5.4 million due to production efficiencies Machine has an after-tax cost of $13 million and will provide after-tax inflows of $4.2 million per year for 8 years. If the WACC is 8%, which machine should be acquired? Explain, Enter your answers in millions. For example, an answer of $10,550,000 should be entered as 10.55. Do not round intermediate calculations.

The projected additional sales revenue in year 1 is $82,000, with associated expenses of $28,500. The additional sales revenue and expenses from the advertising program are projected to increase by 10 percent each year. Allegience’s tax rate is 30 percent. (Hint: The $177,085 advertising cost is an expense.)Required:1. Compute the payback period for the advertising program.2. Calculate the advertising program’s net present value, assuming an after-tax hurdle rate of 10 percent.

The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three-year tax life, after which time it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $1,651,000 in annual sales, with costs of $629,000. If the tax rate is 23 percent, what is the OCF for this project?

The tax rate Mr. Daniel wants you to utilize is 25%. When calculating the tax shield, the present value should be in the same period as the initial investment (Year 0), which also means that deprecation (i.e., CCA) should not be taken from the cash flows in subsequent years since their tax shelter effects are already accounted for in the tax shield. Reconstruction of Coffee Shops to add yogurt services Mr. Daniel also ask you to evaluate the potential of developing several hundred stores into new store models with frozen yogurt services. 500 stores have been selected as candidates for development. It will cost $80,000 to convert each store, including modifications to refrigeration equipment, with these costs being capitalized with a 6% applicable CCA rate. The average modified coffee shop is expected to generate an additional $30,000…arrow_forward[EXCEL] Net present value: Blanda Incorporated management is considering investing in two alternative production systems.
