DataPoint Engineering is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment for $200,000. It has an eight-year midpoint of its asset depreciation range (ADR). It will require an additional initial investment of $100,000 in nondepreciable working capital. $25,000 of this investment will be recovered after the sixth year and will provide additional cash flow for that year. Income before depreciation and taxes for the next six are shown in the following table. Use Table 12–11, Table 12–12. Use Appendix B for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.

Argyl Manufacturing is evaluating the possibility of expanding its operations. This expansion will require the purchase of land at a cost of $150,000. A new building will cost $120,000 and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years to a salvage value of $0. Actual land salvage at the end of 10 years is expected to be $200,000. The actual building salvage at the end of 10 years is expected to be $190,000. Equipment for the facility is expected to cost $260,000. Installation costs will be an additional $20,000 and shipping costs will be $13,000. This equipment will be depreciated as a 7-year MACRS asset. Actual estimated salvage at the end of 10 years is $0. The project will require net working capital of $75,000 initially (year 0), an additional $40,000 at the end of year 1, and an additional $40,000 at the end of year 2.

Sum-of-the-year's-digits.   Jon Seceda Furnace Corp. purchased machinery for $315,000 on May 1, 2020. It is estimated that it will have a useful life of 10 years, salvage value of $15,000, production of 240,000 units, and working hours of 25,000. During 2021, Seceda Corp. uses the machinery for 2,650 hours, and the machinery produces 25,500 units My understanding of the equation is  (Cost-Salvage Value) x Depreciation Fraction = Depreciation Charge. My calculation: ($315,000-$15,000) x 10/55 = 54,545.45 Bartely's answer (which is correct): ($315,000-$15,000) x 10/55 x 4/12 = 18,181.81 ($315,000-$15,000) x 9/55 x 8/12 = 32,727.27 Sum-of-the-Years'-digits = 50,909.08 (add 18,181.81 and 32,727.27) My question is where does the fractions (4/12 and 8/12) come from?
