1. A special manufacturing and handling device was purchased by Alfonso Manufacturing for $200,000 and is depreciated over MACRS. CFBT is estimated to amount to $800,000 for the first 2 years followed by $600,000 thereafter until the asset is retained. The effective tax rate, Te is 35% and interest is 10% per year. In present worth dollars determine the CFAT and determine if it was a viable purchase. (Note answer must be in a tabular format)
3azelly, a moving company, has purchased a large new trucktractor for over-the-road use. It has, with additional options, a cost basis for depreciation purposes of $198000. Its MV at the end of 4 years is estimated to be $38900. What is the BV at the end of year two using straight line depreciation method? What is the declining balance rate? d = What is the cumulative depreciation through the end of year three assuming it will be depreciated under the GDS?
For depreciation purposes, a company can select either the 150% declining balance method or use the MACRS depreciation method with a 3-year recovery period.
