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:

Centronix Corporation purchased new equipment with an estimated useful life of five years. The cost of the equipment was $200,000, and the residual (salvage) value was estimated to be $25,000. In purchasing the new equipment, an old machine was traded in that had an original cost of $180,000, and had been depreciated at the rate of $18,000 a year. The trade-in allowance was $21,000, and accumulated depreciation amounted to $144,000 at the time of the exchange. What should be the cost basis of the new equipment for tax depreciation purposes?(a) $200,000(b) $215,000(c) $175,000( d) $190,000
SplashCo Space Company has purchased a launcher system for launching passenger rockets into the edge of space from Norman Wells, NT. The cost of the new system was $250,000 and it has a service life of 10 years. For the first six years, depreciation of the system was calculated using the declining balance method at a rate of 30%. During the last four years, the straight line method was used for accounting purposes to bring the book value to $0 at the end of its service life. Make a table in Excel with the book values at the end of each year. Include the table in your submission to d2. What was the book value of the system after 3, 5, 7, and 9 years?
