11 DeCento's is analyzing two mutually exclusive machines to determine which one it should purchase. Whichever machine is purchased, it will be replaced at the end of its useful life. The company requires a return of 15 percent and uses straight-line depreciation to a zero book value over the life of the machine. Machine A has a cost of $386,000, annual operating costs of $29,000, and life of 4 years. Machine B costs $257,000, has annual operating costs of $19,000, and a life of 3 years. The firm currently pays no taxes. Which machine should be purchased?

Rework Example 7-21 using the MACRS depreciation method (assume three-year property class) instead of the SL depreciation method 7-21. A new municipal refuse collection vehicle can be purchased for $84,000. Its expected useful life is 6 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 6-year life of the vehicle. (7.9) a.

Problem #1 Assumptions: ABC Machine Corp. buys a specialty lathe for its metal products with an original equipment purchase price of $27,850. The lathe has an estimated economic life of six (6) years and an assumed salvage value of $1,390. Expected production over economic life of the lathe is 126,000 units in the following pattern: Yr 1 = 15,000 units; Yrs 2-6 = 22,200 units per year Calculate annual depreciation for the specialty lathe, using each of the four depreciation methods: Year 1 Year 3 Year 4 Method Straight line Units of production Sum-of-years'-digits Double declining balance Year 2 Year 5 Year 6 Totals
Problem 3: A machine currently in use was originally purchased 2 years ago for $40,000. The machine is being depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period; it has 3 years of usable life remaining. The current machine can be sold today to net $42,000 after removal and cleanup costs. A new machine, using a 3-year MACRS recovery period, can be purchased at a price of $140,000. It requires $10,000 to install and has a 3-year usable life. If the new machine is acquired, the investment in accounts receivable will be expected to rise by $10,000, the inventory investment will increase by $25,000, and accounts payable will increase by $15,000. Earnings before depreciation, interest, and taxes are expected to be $70,000 for each of the next 3 years with the old machine and to be $120,000 in the first year and $130,000 in the second and third years with the new machine. At the end of 3 years, the market value of the old machine will equal zero, but the new machine could be sold to net…
