6) New Brunswick Metalworks is evaluating a $100,000 polishing machine (CCA class 8). Services provided by the machine are expected to bring $15,000 per year in value over the next five years. Operating costs are expected to be $1,000 per year. Calculate the amount of taxes paid in each of the next five years of service life under the corporate tax rate of 40%.

You are given the following financial data about an assembly machine to be implemented at a company: - Investment cost at year 0 (n=0) is $22,000 - Investment cost at the end of the first year (n=1) is $18,500 - Useful life: 15 years - Salvage value (at the end of 15 years): $7,000 Annual revenues: $18,000 per year - Annual expenses: $5,000 per year Assuming the first revenues and expenses will occur starting from the end of year 2, determine the conventional (non-discounted) payback period.
