A corporation expects to receive $32,000 each year for 15 years if a particular project is undertaken. There will be an initial investment of $150,000. The expenses associated with the project are expected to be $7500 per year. Assume straight-line depreciation, a 15-year useful life, and no salvage value. Use a combined state and federal 28% marginal tax rate, and determine the project’s after-tax rate of return.

Postman Company is considering two independent projects. One project involves a new product line, and the other involves the acquisition of forklifts for the Materials Handling Department. The projected annual operating revenues and expenses are as follows: Required: Compute the after-tax cash flows of each project. The tax rate is 40 percent and includes federal and state assessments.
The Rodriguez Company is considering an average-risk investment in a mineral water spring project that has an initial after-tax cost of 170,000. The project will produce 1,000 cases of mineral water per year indefinitely, starting at Year 1. The Year-1 sales price will be 138 per case, and the Year-1 cost per case will be 105. The firm is taxed at a rate of 25%. Both prices and costs are expected to rise after Year 1 at a rate of 6% per year due to inflation. The firm uses only equity, and it has a cost of capital of 15%. Assume that cash flows consist only of after-tax profits because the spring has an indefinite life and will not be depreciated. a. What is the present value of future cash flows? (Hint: The project is a growing perpetuity, so you must use the constant growth formula to find its NPV.) What is the NPV? b. Suppose that the company had forgotten to include future inflation. What would they have incorrectly calculated as the projects NPV?
A corporate expects to receive $35,900 each year for 15 years if a particular project is undertaken. There will be an initial investment of $121,595. The expenses associated with the project are expected to be $7,608 per year. Assume straight-line depreciation, a 15-year useful life, and no salvage value. Use a combined state and federal 48% marginal tax rate, MARR of 8%, determine the project's after-tax net present worth.
A corporate expects to receive $37,399 each year for 15 years if a particular project is undertaken. There will be an initial investment of $105,308. The expenses associated with the project are expected to be $7,716 per year. Assume straight-line depreciation, a 15- year useful life, and no salvage value. Use a combined state and federal 48% marginal tax rate, MARR of 8%, determine the project's after-tax net present worth. Enter your answer as follow: 123456.78
Estimate the approximate before-tax rate of return (ROR) for a project that has a first cost of $750,000 and a salvage value of 25% of the first cost after three years. The project’s NOI is $260,000. Assume an effective tax rate of 37%.
Consider an asset that costs $311,000 and is depreciated straight-line to zero over its six-year tax life. The asset is to be used in a four-year project; at the end of the project, the asset can be sold for $58,000. If the relevant tax rate is 34 percent, what is the aftertax cash flow from the sale of this asset? Can the calculator and excel solution be provided?
Consider an asset that costs $176,000 and is depreciated straight-line to zero over its 10- year tax life. The asset is to be used in a 4-year project; at the end of the project, the asset can be sold for $22,000. If the relevant tax rate is 23 percent, what is the aftertax cash flow from the sale of this asset?
Pulaski Starlight Inc. is evaluating a project. The project is expected to generated new sales of $1,718,798 and incur costs of $606,990 annually. The project will be depreciated using the MACRS approach. The equipment needed for the project will cost $4,495,137 and is considered to be a five year MACRS class. The company's tax rate is 28%. Given this information, what would be the project's third year operating cash flow? Answer in dollars and cents.
Consider an asset that costs $665,000 and is depreciated straight-line to zero over its nine-year tax life. The asset is to be used in a five-year project; at the end of the project, the asset can be sold for $137,000. If the relevant tax rate is 21 percent, what is the aftertax cash flow from the sale of this asset?
The asking price (initial investment) for a project is $290,000. The end of year after tax cash flows from operations associated with this project will be $80,000 for year 1; $80,000 for year 2; -$110,000 for year 3; and $300,000 for end of year four. What is an IRR for this project? How many IRRs are possible
Consider an asset that costs $700,000 and is depreciated straight-line to zero over its seven-year tax life. The asset is to be used in a five-year project; at the end of the project, the asset can be sold for $151,000.

The initial investment in machinery would be $8 million immediately and the project is expected to last for three years. Investment in machinery receives tax allowable depreciation of 25% per annum on a straight-line basis. Allowances are receivable one year in arrears. The machinery will be sold at the end of the project for $5 million, in year 3 prices. And the answer is in the picture. How to calculate the answer of Tax Allowable depreciation?
