An industrial organization has established an automated assembly line (for $240,000) that will reduce labor costs by $36,000 each year for 10 years. The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that you must depreciate the assembly line on a Straight Line (SL) basis with a depreciable life of 10 years. After-tax MARR is 10% per year. The effective income tax rate is 40%. After 10 years, the machine will have zero salvage value. a) Draw a table showing Before Tax Cash Flow (BTCF) and After-Tax Cash Flow (ATCF). b) Calculate the after-tax PW and IRR. (Use interpolation method to find IRR). Is it feasible?

Although the Chen Company’s milling machine is old, it is still in relatively good working order and would last for another 10 years. It is inefficient compared to modern standards, though, and so the company is considering replacing it. The new milling machine, at a cost of $110,000 delivered and installed, would also last for 10 years and would produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation tax savings) of $19,000 per year. It would have zero salvage value at the end of its life. The project cost of capital is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. Should Chen buy the new machine?

A firm is considering purchasing a machine that costs $56000. It will be used for six years, and the salvage value at that time is expected to be zero. The machine will save $45000 per year in labor, but it will incur $9000 in operating and maintenance costs each year. The machine will be depreciated according to five-year MACRS. The firm's tax rate is 40%, and its after-tax MARR is 14%. Should the machine be purchased?
Your firm needs a computerized machine tool lathe which costs $47,000 and requires $11,700 in maintenance for each year of its 3- year life. After three years, this machine will be replaced. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class life category, and neither bonus depreciation nor Section 179 expensing can be used. Assume a tax rate of 21 percent and a discount rate of 11 percent. Calculate the depreciation tax shield for this project in year 3. Note: Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Answer is complete but not entirely correct. 4,286.00 Depreciation tax shieldi
Ilana Industries, Inc., needs a new lathe. It can buy a new high-speed lathe for $1.4 million. The lathe will cost $49,000 per year to run, but it will save the firm $144,000 in labor costs and will be useful for 10 years. Suppose that for tax purposes, the lathe will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over its 10-year life to a salvage value of $450,000. The actual market value of the lathe at that time also will be $450,000. The discount rate is 10%, and the corporate tax rate is 20%. What is the NPV of buying the new lathe? (A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in dollars not in millions. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Biggerstaff Automotive Group is looking to replace their office printer. Option 1 costs $4,000 and costs $0.01 per sheet to print and will last 4 years.
