Tucker Enterprise Inc. is considering a project that requires a numerically controlled (NC) machine for $28,000 (year 0) and plans to use it for five years, after which time it will be scrapped. The allowed depreciation deduction during the first year is $4,000 because the equipment falls into the seven-year MACRS property category. (The first-year depreciation rate is 14.29%.) The cost of the goods produced by this NC machine should include a charge for the depreciation of the machine. Suppose the company estimates the following revenues and expenses, including the depreciation for the first operating year:• Gross income = $50,000• Cost of goods sold = $20,000• Depreciation on the NC machine= $4,000• Operating expenses = $6,000Without the project, the company's taxable income from regular business operations amounts to $20 million, which places the company in the highest tax bracket of 35%. Compute the net income from the project during the first year.
