mith & Co. Pty. Ltd. recently purchased a new factory. The factory was very run down having been non-operational for several years. Smith & Co spent $150,000 to recondition the factory and bring it up to operational condition. Several months later one of the machines breaks down due to a fault with a small part in the computer system that controls the machine, Smith & Co orders a replacement part from German and hires specialist technicians to install it at a cost of $25,000. Smith & Co also spends $10,000 to replace one of the factory doors with a wider door to allow for better access for the company’s trucks. The previous door was in good working order. Are any of the above expenses allowable as a Specific Deduction under Section 25-10 ITAA97?

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 $181, 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 $28,000 to $73, 500 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 10%. What is the NPV if the firm replaces the old welder with the new one? Do not round intermediate calculations.
