Question

2. A firm purchased a machine with a life of four years. Depreciating the machine using straight-line depreciation over the four years yields an NPV = -$10. The initial investment was $1000, cost of capital = 15%, and tax rate = 34%. If the firm is allowed to depreciate the machine under the MACRS 3-year class, what will be the new net present value? (Use MACRS table). Assume losses, if any, will save taxes on other operations of the company.

The table outlines the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) depreciation rates for various asset classes over different time periods: 3-year, 5-year, 7-year, 10-year, 15-year, and 20-year. The MACRS system is used for tax purposes in the United States and allows for the accelerated depreciation of property.

### MACRS Depreciation Rates

|------|--------|--------|--------|---------|---------|---------|
| 1    | 33.33  | 20     | 14.29  | 10      | 5       | 3.75    |
| 2    | 44.45  | 32     | 24.49  | 18      | 9.5     | 7.22    |
| 3    | 14.81  | 19.2   | 17.49  | 14.4    | 8.55    | 6.68    |
| 4    | 7.41   | 11.52  | 12.49  | 11.52   | 7.7     | 6.18    |
| 5    |        | 11.52  | 8.93   | 9.22    | 6.93    | 5.71    |
| 6    |        | 5.76   | 8.92   | 7.37    | 6.23    | 5.29    |
| 7    |        |        | 8.93   | 6.55    | 5.9     | 4.89    |
| 8    |        |        | 4.46   | 6.55    | 5.9     | 4.52    |
| 9    |        |        |        | 6.56    | 5.91    | 4.46    |
| 10   |        |        |        | 6.55    | 5.9     | 4.46    |
| 11   |        |        |        | 3.28    | 5.91    | 4.
