A company purchases an industrial laser for $123,000. The device has a useful life of 4 years and a salvage value (market value) at the end of those four years of $50,000. The before-tax cash flow is estimated to be $95,000 per year. a. You, of course, suggested applying the 3-year MACRS (GDS) method instead of the straight-line method. Given an effective tax rate of 26%, determine the depreciation schedule and the after tax cash flow. b. Based on the MACRS depreciation schedule for this asset, if the industrial laser was sold for $75,000 in year two (consider year two to be the "year 2" row in the table in Part (a), what will be the amount of gain (depreciation recapture) or loss on the disposal of the asset at the end of this year? how do you solve for part a for ATCF in year 4. how do you solve part b. Thank you

Johnny Dear Inc. is examining the possibility of purchasing harvesting machinery for $147,500 that is expected to be sold at the end of 10 years for $500. The machinery will generate benefits of $24,550 per year and will have maintenance costs of $3,203 per year. Johnny Dear Inc. will use an interest rate of 7% and a straight-line depreciation method. Due to the next tax code the company has a flat tax rate of 21%. Calculate the project's after-tax benefit cost ratio. Remember to use two decimal points

What is the TCF associated with the purchase of this machine? $5,100 $7,500 $0 $9,900
Easter Corporation will replace one of its assets with an updated model. The current asset was purchased two years ago at a cost of $70,000. It has been depreciated under MACRS using a five-year recovery period. The company can sell this existing asset for $30,000. The new asset is going to cost $80,000 and will also be depreciated under MACRS using a five-year recovery period. If the assumed tax rate is 40 percent on both ordinary income and capital gains, the initial investment will be equal to what amount after adjusting for taxes?
An after-tax analysis for a new $50,000 machine proposed for a fiber opticsmanufacturing line is in process. The CFBT for the machine is estimated at$20,000. If a recovery period of 5 years applies, use the present-worth-of-taxes criterion, an effective tax rate of 35%, and a return of 8% per year to compare the following: straight line, DDB, and MACRS depreciation. Use a 6-year period to accommodate the MACRS half-year convention.
