Salvage Co. is considering the purchase of a new ocean-going vessel that could potentially reduce labor costs of its operation by a considerable margin. The new ship would cost P500,000 and would be fully depreciated by the straight-line method over 10 years. At the end of 10 years, the ship will have no value and will be sunk in some already polluted harbor. The Salvage Co's cost of capital is 12 percent, and its marginal tax rate is 40 percent. The ship produces equal annual labor cost savings over its 10-year life. What is the present value of the depreciation tax benefit of the new ship? (Round to the nearest peso.)

Although the Chen Company’s milling machine is old, it is still in relatively good working order and would last for another 10 years. It is inefficient compared to modern standards, though, and so the company is considering replacing it. The new milling machine, at a cost of $110,000 delivered and installed, would also last for 10 years and would produce after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation tax savings) of $19,000 per year. It would have zero salvage value at the end of its life. The project cost of capital is 10%, and its marginal tax rate is 25%. Should Chen buy the new machine?

b. Cendrawasih Inc. is considering replacing the equipment it uses to produce crayons. The equipment would cost RM1.37 million, have a 12-year life, and lower manufacturing costs by an estimated RM304,000 a year. The equipment will be depreciated using straight-line depreciation to a book value of zero. The required rate of return is 15 percent and the tax rate is 35 percent. Determine the net income from this proposed project.

Sunrise Furniture Inc. wants to upgrade the existing production process. The cost-cutting project can potentially reduce expenses by $665,000 per year. The project will require an initial investment in fixed assets of $1,268,000 that will be depreciated using the straight-line method to a zero book value over the 5-year life of the project. The company has a marginal tax rate of 23 percent. What is the depreciation tax shield at the end of year 2? A. $58,328 B. $411,400 C. $94,622 D. $253,600
Thomson Media is considering some replacing its equipment. The new equipment will reduce the operating costs by $40,000 every year. It requires initial costs of $80,000 and installation fees of $30,000. The new equipment has a 4-year tax life and would be fully depreciated by the straight-line method, but it would have a salvage value of $25,000 at the end of Year 4, when the project would be closed down. Also, some new working capital of $20,000 would be required, but it would be recovered at the end of the project's life. The old equipment has salvage value of $50,000 today and $18,000 in 4 years. Its book value is $36,000 and gets depreciated by $9,000 every year. The tax rate is 30%, and WACC is 9%. What is the project's NPV?
