One year ago, your company purchased a machine used in manufacturing for $105,000. You have learned that a new machine is available that offers many advantages and you can purchase it for $160,000 today. It will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years and has no salvage value. You expect that the new machine will produce a gross margin (revenues minus operating expenses other than depreciation) of $60,000 per year for the next 10 years. The current machine is expected to produce a gross margin of $21,000 per year. The current machine is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 11 years, and has no salvage value, so depreciation expense for the current machine is $9,545 per year. The market value today of the current machine is $65,000. Your company's tax rate is 40%, and the opportunity cost of capital for this type of equipment is 10%. Should your company replace its year-old machine? The NPV of replacing the year-old machine is $ (Round to the…

St. Johns River Shipyards' welding machine is 15 years old, fully depreciated, and has no salvage value. However, even though it is old, it is still functional as originally designed and can be used for quite a while longer. A new welder will cost $184,500 and have an estimated life of 8 years with no salvage value. The new welder will be much more efficient, however, and this enhanced efficiency will increase earnings before depreciation from $25,000 to $65,000 per year. The new machine will be depreciated over its 5-year MACRS recovery period, so the applicable depreciation rates are 20.00%, 32.00%, 19.20%, 11.52%, 11.52%, and 5.76%. The applicable corporate tax rate is 25%, and the project cost of capital is 15%. What is the NPV if the firm replaces the old welder with the new one? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Negative value, if any, should be indicated by a minus sign.

A piece of equipment having a negligible salvage and scrap value is estimated to have a MACRS and straight line recovery period of 5 years. The original cost of the equipment was $50,000. Determine (1) the depreciation charge for the second year if straight-line deprecia- tion is used and the percent of the original investment paid off in the first 2 years, and (2) the depreciation charge for the fifth year if the modified acceleration cost recovery system (MACRS) is used, and the percent of the original investment paid off in the first 2 years.
