I 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…
A pallette conveyor system used to transport pallettes of product at the Browning Harvey plant in St. John's costs $250,000 plus $35,000 to install. It is estimated to depreciate at a declining balance rate of 25% per year over its 15-year useful life. Annual maintenance costs are estimated to be $9,000 for the first year, increasing by 20% every year thereafter. In addition, every third year, the rollers must be replaced at a cost of $6,000. Interest is at 9%. Construct a spreadsheet that has the following headings: Year, Salvage Value, Maintenance Costs, and the EAC of each of Capital Costs, Maintenance Costs and a Total Equivalent Annual Costs (as used in the lectures and is shown below). The economic life of the conveyor system is determined by the year that has the lowest Total Equivalent Annual Cost. Complete the row of the table below, inputting data for the row that has the lowest Total Equivalent Annual Cost from your spreadsheet for this project: NOTE: (Use 5 significant…
A new municipal refuse collection vehicle can be purchased for $84,000. Itsexpected useful life is six years, at which time the market value and book value will be zero. Before-tax cash flow (BTCF) will be +$18,000 per year over the six-year life of the vehicle. Solve, a. Use straight-line depreciation, an effective income tax rate of 40% and an after-tax MARR of 12% to determine the present worth of the investment. b. What is the after-tax internal rate of return? c. Is this vehicle a sound investment? Explain your answer.
