Problem An asset used in a four-year project falls in the five-year MACRS class for tax purposes. The asset has an acquisition cost of $6,100,000 and will be sold for $1,300,000 at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 27%, what is the after-tax salvage value of the asset? MACRS Depreciation: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 3 year class 33.33% 44.45% 14.81% 7.41% 5 year class 20.00% 32.00% 19.20% 11.52% 11.52% 5.76% 7 year class 14.29% 24.49% 17.49% 12.49% 8.93% 8.92% 8.93% 4.46%

Problem: A leasing company is planning to purchase an asset for $15,000 with a 6-year life and assume no salvage value. The company can depreciate the asset over its useful life using a straight-line depreciation method. The company has just issued five-year notes at an interest rate of 10% per year. Tax rate = 21%. Maintenance (and other) costs = $1,350 per year for years 1-4, $2,200 per year for years 5-6. What is the after-tax break-event rent for this lease if payments occur at the beginning of the periods? (Hint: Use an excel sheet to solve this problem. You need to draw the lease cash flow table.)

None

What is the NPV of a project that costs $100,000, provides $23,000 in cash flows annually for six years, requires a $5,000 increase in net working capital (recaptured at the end), and depreciates the asset at 15 percent declining balance over six years and sold at zero salvage value? The discount rate is 14 percent. The tax rate is 40 percent $6,136.52 -$29639.22 -$23,460 -$13,283

Thank you!!

Using (a) straight-line depreciation and (b) MACRS depreciation, complete the last four columns of the table below using an effective tax rate of 40 percent on an asset that has a first cost of $20,000 and a 3-year recovery period with no salvage value. Both cash flows are in units of $1000.
