A firm can purchase a centrifugal separator​ (5-year MACRS​ property) for ​$22,000. The estimated salvage value is ​$4,000 after a useful life of six years. Operating and maintenance​ (O&M) costs for the first year are expected to be ​$2,200. These​ O&M costs are projected to increase by ​$1,000 per year each year thereafter. The income tax rate is 24​% and the MARR is 11​% after taxes. What must the uniform annual benefits be for the purchase of the centrifugal separator to be economical on an​ after-tax basis?

A newly constructed water treatment facility costs $2 million. It is estimated that the facility will need revamping to maintain the original design specification every 30 years at a cost of $1 million. Annual repairs and maintenance costs are estimated to be $100,000. At an interest rate of 8%, determine the capitalized cost of the facility, assuming that it will be used for an indefinite period.

Acompany is evaluating the addition of equipment to its presentoperations. They need to purchase equipment for $160,000. The five year MACRS GDS Recovery Method is appropriate forthe investment and the total tax rate (federal plus state) is 40%. Gross revenue is expected to be $30,000/year while maintenance costs are expected to be $5,000/year. It is expected that the operation will be shut down at the end of the fourth year with a salvage value of $20,000. 2-Draw a BTCFD

A "standard" model of a dozer costs $20,000 and has an annual operating expense of $450. The dozer will be replaced in 6 years when the salvage value is expected to be $2,000. A "super" model can be purchased for $25,000, but will have a salvage value of $7,000 when retired in 6 years. Its operating expenses are also $450 a year. The purchaser's other investment opportunities are 5%. Compare these alternatives by using the annual equivalent method.

Hubrey Home Inc. is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $3.2 million. The fixed asset falls into Class 10 for tax purposes (CCA rate of 30% per year), and at the end of the three years can be sold for a salvage value equal to its UCC. The project is estimated to generate $2,580,000 in annual sales, with costs of $817,000. If the tax rate is 35%, what is the OCF for each year one, two and three of this project? (Round to two decimal places)

If produced by Plan A, a producer’s initial capital cost will be $120,000, its annual operating cost will be $30,000, and its salvage value after 4 years will be 20,000. With Plan B, there is a first cost of $240,000, an annual operating cost of $10,000, and $40,000 salvage value after 4-year life. Based on a present worth analysis at 15% interest rate, which plan should be chosen?

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?

Land Development Corporation is considering the purchase of a bulldozer. The bulldozer will cost $100,000 and will have an estimated salvage value of $30,000 at the end of six years. The asset will generate annual before-tax revenues of $80,000 over the next six years. The asset is classified as a five-year MACRS property. The marginal tax rate is 40%, and the firm's market interest rate is known to be 18%. All dollar figures represent constant dollars at time zero and are responsive to the general inflation rate J.(a) With 1=6% compute the after-tax cash flows in actual dollars.(b) Determine the real rate of return of this project on an after-tax basis.(c) Suppose that the initial cost of the project will be financed through a local bank at an interest rate of 12% and with an annual payment of $24,323 over six years. With this additional condition, the rework part (a).(d) From your answer to part (a), determine the PW loss due to inflation.(e) From your answer to part (c), determine…

A project requires an initial investment of $322,990 and its expected life is 7 years. Net operating income from the project is expected to be $28,100 each year, including depreciation of $42,270. The salvage value of the assets is expected to be $27,100 at the end of the life of the project. Ignoring income taxes, the payback period is: (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

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.
