A corporation is considering purchasing a machine that will save $150,000 per year before taxes. The cost of operating the machine (including maintenance) is $30,000 per year. The machine will be needed for five years, after which it will have a zero salvage value. MACRS depreciation will be used, assuming a three-year class life. The marginal income tax rate is 25%. If the firm wants 15% return on investment after taxes, how much can it afford to pay for this machine? Click the icon to view the MACRS depreciation schedules.

A company just bought a new piece of equipment for $4.919 million. The following information is given: - after-tax annual interest rate = 17.9% - corporate tax rate = 29% - service life = 24 years - depreciation rate = 20% Calculate the present worth of the equipment's salvage value with tax effects.

A firm is considering purchasing a machine that costs $76,000. It will be used for six years, and the salvage value at that time is expected to be zero. The machine will save $42,000 per year in labor, but it will incur $16,000 in operating and maintenance costs each year. The machine will be depreciated according to five-year MACRS. The firm's tax rate is 35%, and its after-tax MARR is 17%. Should the machine be purchased? Click the icon to view the MACRS depreciation schedules.

7-22. A company is considering the purchase of a capital asset for $100,000. Installation charges needed to make the asset serviceable will total $30,000. The asset will be depreciated over six years using the straight-line method and an estimated salvage value (SV6) of $10,000. The asset will be kept in service for six years, after which it will be sold for $20,000. During its useful life, it is estimated that the asset will produce annual revenues of $30,000. Operating and maintenance (O&M) costs are estimated to be $6,000 in the first year. These O&M costs are projected to increase by $1,000 per year each year thereafter. The after tax MARR is 12% and the effective tax rate is 40%. (7.9) a. Use the tabular format given in Figure 7-5 to compute the after-tax cash flows. b. Compute the after-tax present worth of the project, and use a uniform gradient in your formulation. c. The before-tax present worth of this asset is -$50,070. By how much would the annual revenues have to increase…
