Q. A project requires an initial investment in machinery of $400,000. Additional cash inflows of $150,000 at current price levels are expected for three years, at the end of which time the machinery will be scrapped. The machinery will attract tax-allowable depreciation of 30% on the RB basis, which can be claimed against taxable profits of the current year, which is soon to end. A balancing charge or allowance will arise on disposal. The tax rate is 40% and tax is payable 50% in the current year, 50% one year in arrears. The pre-tax cost of capital is 22% and the rate of inflation is 10%. Assume that the project is 100% debt financed. Required Assess whether the project should be undertaken.

The initial investment in machinery would be $8 million immediately and the project is expected to last for three years. Investment in machinery receives tax allowable depreciation of 25% per annum on a straight-line basis. Allowances are receivable one year in arrears. The machinery will be sold at the end of the project for $5 million, in year 3 prices. And the answer is in the picture. How to calculate the answer of Tax Allowable depreciation?
The asking price (initial investment) for a project is $290,000. The end of year after tax cash flows from operations associated with this project will be $80,000 for year 1; $80,000 for year 2; -$110,000 for year 3; and $300,000 for end of year four.

Estimate the approximate before-tax rate of return (ROR) for a project that has a first cost of $750,000 and a salvage value of 25% of the first cost after three years. The project’s NOI is $260,000. Assume an effective tax rate of 37%.
10)U.) A $20,000 investment in machinery is under consideration. The project is ex- pected to have a life of 6 years and no salvage value. The estimated annual in- come from the project is $10,000 with annual operating expenses of $4,000. The investment will be depreciated by the MACRS (GDS) straight-line method based on a 5-year recovery period. If a 40% income tax rate is applied with a MARR of 5%, compute the present worth on the proposed investment's after- tax cash flow under the following financial policies: The investment is provided from the firm's retained earnings. The initial investment is borrowed at 10% with repayment of interest at the end of each period and repayment of the loan principal at the end а. b. of 5 years. Repeat parts (a) and (b) for a MARR of 9%. с.

6. An elective project is currently under review. One alternative requires an initial investment of $116,000 for equipment. The profit is expected to be $28,000 each year, over the 6-year project period. The salvage value of the equipment at the end of the project period is projected to be $22,000. A second alternative requires an initial investment of $60,000 for equipment. The profit is projected to be $16,000 each year, over the 6-year project period. The salvage value of the equipment at the end of the project period is projected to be $14,000. The IRR of this alternative is 18.69%. Determine which alternative is preferred using the appropriate IRR method. Assume a MARR of 10%. Justify your recommendation, based on this method.
