The system has a useful life of 8 years. The company estimated that the new automated process will increase productivity and will result in savings of $40,000 per year. Deductible expenses other than depreciation and interest associated with the new automated system are $20,000 per year. Depreciation is $10,000 this year-2014. Interest on borrowed money is $5,000 paid in 2014 and $3,000 in principal is paid back in year 2014. a. What is the taxable income for the year 2014? b. Assume an income tax rate of 25%, what is the after tax cash flow for the year 2014?

The Everly Equipment Company’s flange-lipping machine was purchased 5 years ago for $55,000. It had an expected life of 10 years when it was bought, and its remaining depre-ciation is $5,500 per year for each year of its remaining life. As older flange-lippers are robust and useful machines, this one can be sold for $20,000 at the end of its useful life. A new high-efficiency, digital-controlled flange-lipper can be purchased for $120,000, including installation costs. During its 5-year life, it will reduce cash operating expenses by $30,000 per year, although it will not affect sales. At the end of its useful life, the high-efficiency machine is estimated to be worthless. MACRS depreciation will be used, and the machine will be depreciated over its 3-year class life rather than its 5-year economic life, so the applicable depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%. The old machine can be sold today for $35,000. The firm’s tax rate is 25%, and the appropriate cost of…
The Telephone Company of America purchased a numerically controlled production machine 5 years ago for $300,000. The machine currently has a trade-in value of $70,000. If the machine is continued in use, another machine, X, must be purchased to supplement the old machine. Machine X costs $200,000, has annual operating and maintenance costs of $40,000, and will have a salvage value of $30,000 in 10 years. If the old machine is retained, it will have annual operating and maintenance costs of $55,000 and will have a salvage value of $15,000 in 10 years. As an alternative to retaining the old machine, it can be replaced with Machine Y. Machine Y costs $400,000, has anticipated annual operating and maintenance costs of $70,000, and has a salvage value of $140,000 in 10 years. Using a MARR of 15%, a cash flow approach, and a present worth comparison, determine the preferred economic alternative.
Ultra-clean special handling devices used in the filling process for the manufacture of baby food are placed into use at a cost of $850,000. These devices are expected to be useful for 4 years with a negligible salvage value at that time. Compare MACRS to traditional depreciation methods by calculating yearly depreciation allowances, present worth of the depreciation allowances, and book value for each year using each of the following. MARR is 11%. a. MACRS-GDS as is proper over its property class depreciation life. b. DDB taking a full deduction in the first year, with the last deduction in year 3. c. DDB switching to straight-line, taking a full deduction in the 1st year, with the last deduction in year 3. d. SLN taking a full deduction in the 1st year, with the last deduction in year 3.

Mercury Inc. purchased equipment in 2016 at a cost of $400,000. The equipment was expected to produce 700,000units over the next five years and have a residual value of $50,000. The equipment was sold for $210,000 part waythrough 2018. Actual production in each year was: 2016 = 100,000 units; 2017 = 160,000 units; 2018 = 80,000units. Mercury uses units-of-production depreciation, and all depreciation has been recorded through the disposaldate.Required:1. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale.2. Assuming that the equipment was sold for $245,000, prepare the journal entry to record the sale.

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 that you can purchase it for $150,000 today. The CCA rate applicable to both machines is 20%; neither machine will have any long-term salvage value. You expect that the new machine will produce earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $45,000 per year for the next 10 years. The current machine is expected to produce EBITDA of $22,000 per year. All other expenses of the two machines are identical. The market value today of the current machine is $50,000. Your company's tax rate is 35%, and the opportunity cost of capital for this type of equipment is 10%. Should your company replace its year-old machine? What is the NPV of replacement? The NPV of replacement is $ (Round to the nearest dollar.) .....
