Altoona Company is considering replacing a machine with a book value of P200,000, a remaining useful life of 4 years, and annual straight-line depreciation of P50,000. The existing machine has a current market value of P175,000. The replacement machine would cost P320,000, have a 4 year life, and save P100,000 per year in cash operating costs. If the replacement machine would be depreciated using the straight-line method and the tax rate is 40%, what would be the increase in income after taxes if the company replaces the machine?
