The Miami Company is deciding whether to purchase a new piece of equipment. The equipment costs $1,000,000 and the fee to transport and install the equipment is $20,000. We also expect to spend $50, 000 training our staff on the new equipment. Assume that this type of equipment is depreciated with straight - line depreciation over 5 years. How would we recognize the expenses associated with this investment on the income statement and balance sheet? A: $254 000 in exoenses and $1.020.000 capitalized on the balance sheet B: $270 000 in exoenses and $ 1:000.000 capitalized on the balance sheet C: $1.070.000 in expenses, nothing on the balance sheet D: $70.000 in expenses and $1.000.000 capitalized on the balance sheet

The Scampini Supplies Company recently purchased a new delivery truck. The new truck cost $22,500, and it is expected to generate net after-tax operating cash flows, including depreciation, of $6,250 per year. The truck has a 5-year expected life. The expected salvage values after tax adjustments for the truck are given here. The company’s cost of capital is 10%. Should the firm operate the truck until the end of its 5-year physical life? If not, then what is its optimal economic life? Would the introduction of salvage values, in addition to operating cash flows, ever reduce the expected NPV and/or IRR of a project?
Montello Inc. purchases a delivery truck for $25,000. The truck has a salvage value of $6,000 and is expected to be driven for 125,000 miles. Montello uses the units-of-production depreciation method, and in year one it expects to use the truck for 26,000 miles. Calculate the annual depreciation expense.
Montello Inc. purchases a delivery truck for $25,000. The truck has a salvage value of $6,000 and is expected to be driven for 125,000 miles. Montello uses the units-of-production depreciation method, and in year one the company expects the truck to be driven for 26,000 miles; in year two, 30,000 miles; and in year three, 40,000 miles. Consider how the purchase of the truck will impact Montellos depreciation expense each year and what the trucks book value will be each year after depreciation expense is recorded.
Referring to PA7 where Kenzie Company purchased a 3-D printer for $450,000, consider how the purchase of the printer impacts not only depreciation expense each year but also the assets book value. What amount will be recorded as depreciation expense each year, and what will the book value be at the end of each year after depreciation is recorded?
Utica Machinery Company purchases an asset for 1,200,000. After the machine has been used for 25,000 hours, the company expects to sell the asset for 150,000. What is the depreciation rate per hour based on activity?
Filkins Fabric Company is considering the replacement of its old, fully depreciated knitting machine. Two new models are available: Machine 190-3, which has a cost of $190,000, a 3-year expected life, and after-tax cash flows (labor savings and depreciation) of $87,000 per year; and Machine 360-6, which has a cost of $360,000, a 6-year life, and after-tax cash flows of $98,300 per year. Knitting machine prices are not expected to rise because inflation will be offset by cheaper components (microprocessors) used in the machines. Assume that Filkins’ cost of capital is 14%. Should the firm replace its old knitting machine? If so, which new machine should it use? By how much would the value of the company increase if it accepted the better machine? What is the equivalent annual annuity for each machine?
Dunedin Drilling Company recently acquired a new machine at a cost of 350,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of four years or 100,000 hours, and a salvage value of 30,000. This machine will be used 30,000 hours during Year 1, 20,000 hours in Year 2, 40,000 hours in Year 3, and 10,000 hours in Year 4. With DEPREC5 still on the screen, click the Chart sheet tab. This chart shows the accumulated depreciation under all three depreciation methods. Identify below the depreciation method that each represents. Series 1 _____________________ Series 2 _____________________ Series 3 _____________________ When the assignment is complete, close the file without saving it again. Worksheet. The problem thus far has assumed that assets are depreciated a full year in the year acquired. Normally, depreciation begins in the month acquired. For example, an asset acquired at the beginning of April is depreciated for only nine months in the year of acquisition. Modify the DEPREC2 worksheet to include the month of acquisition as an additional item of input. To demonstrate proper handling of this factor on the depreciation schedule, modify the formulas for the first two years. Some of the formulas may not actually need to be revised. Do not modify the formulas for Years 3 through 8 and ignore the numbers shown in those years. Some will be incorrect as will be some of the totals. Preview the printout to make sure that the worksheet will print neatly on one page, and then print the worksheet. Save the completed file as DEPRECT. Hint: Insert the month in row 6 of the Data Section specifying the month by a number (e.g., April is the fourth month of the year). Redo the formulas for Years 1 and 2. For the units of production method, assume no change in the estimated hours for both years. Chart. Using the DEPREC5 file, prepare a line chart or XY chart that plots annual depreciation expense under all three depreciation methods. No Chart Data Table is needed; use the range B29 to E36 on the worksheet as a basis for preparing the chart if you prepare an XY chart. Use C29 to E36 if you prepare a line chart. Enter your name somewhere on the chart. Save the file again as DEPREC5. Print the chart.
Using the information in the following table , what is the depreciation expense per year created by the project? Dunaway Industries is evaluating the idea of expanding their production facility in Cobb County The CFO gathered the following data. Dunaway Industries spent $ 500,000 researching other sites for their expansion. The equipment needed for the expansion will cost $ 25,600,000 fully installed . The equipment will be depreciated over 20 years to a salvage value of $ 1,000,000 . Dunaway Industries uses straight -line depreciation . If Dunaway accepts the project , the company will sell the equipment for salvage value ( i.e.$ 1,000,000 ) at the end of the life of the project . If Dunaway Industries adds the new equipment , sales are expected to increase by 17,400,000 and costs are expected to increase by $ 10,000,000 . The appropriate tax rate for Dunaway Industries is 30% The capital of the firm includes 70% of equity and 30% of debt . Dunaway Industries recently issued a bond…
A company is considering the purchase of a capital asset for $135,000. Installation charges needed to make the asset serviceable will total $25,000. The asset will be depreciated over six years using the straight-line method and an estimated salvage value (SV6) of $10,000. The asset will be kept in service for six years, after which it will be sold for $ 30,000. During its useful life, it is estimated that the asset will produce annual revenues of $40,000. Operating and maintenance (O&M) costs are estimated to be $8,000 in the first year. These O&M costs are projected to increase by $ 1,200 per year each year thereafter. The after-tax MARR is 12% and the effective tax rate is 40 % .C) The before - tax present worth of this asset is -$60,000. By how much would the annual revenues have to increase to make the purchase of this asset justifiable on a before - tax basis?
