You are evaluating two different devices. Equipment A costs $215,000 and is used for a period of three years,with a pre-tax operating cost of $32,000 per year. Equipment B costs $355,000 and is used for six years,with a pre-tax operating cost of $42,000 per year. Both units were depreciated to book value of 0 over thelife of the unit using the linear old method of depreciation, assuming a residual value of $20,000. If your taxrate is 35%, the discount rate is 9%. Calculate the average cost of the two machines for the year. Whichmachine do you prefer?Why?

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.
A machine costing 350,000 has a salvage value of 15,000 and an estimated life of three years. Prepare depreciation schedules reporting the depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value of the machine for each year under the double-declining-balance and sum-of-the-years-digits methods. For the double-declining-balance method, round the depreciation rate to two decimal places.
A used machine, which had an initial cost of $70,000, was purchased by Company A for $50,000. The company expects to depreciate the machine over a five-year period and then sell it for $10,000. According to the straight-line method, what is the depreciation charge in year two?
Your company has purchased a large new trucktractor for over-the-road use (asset class 00.26). It has a cost basis of $179,000. With additional options costing $14,000, the cost basis for depreciation purposes is $193,000. Its MV at the end of six years is estimated as $36,000. Assume it will be depreciated under the GDS: a. What is the cumulative depreciation through the end of year two? b. What is the MACRS depreciation in the second year? c. What is the BV at the end of year one? Click the icon to view the partial listing of depreciable assets used in business. Click the icon to view the GDS Recovery Rates (rk). a. The cumulative depreciation through the end of year two is $ (Round to the nearest dollar.) b. The MACRS depreciation in the second year is $ (Round to the nearest dollar.) c.

Anne Company has an equipment costing P700,000 with an estimated residual value of P70,000 and an estimated useful life of six years. After using and depreciating the asset for the past two years, the company upgraded the machine parts and the cost of upgrading amounted to P120,000. Assuming that the upgrading costs extended the asset’s economic useful life by an additional two years, what is the revised depreciation expense for the third year using the (1) straight-line method and (2) sum-of-the-years’ digits method? a. (1) P90,000 and (2) P140,000 b. (1) P90,000 and (2) P120,000 c. (1) P101,667 and (2) P140,000 d. (1) P101,667 and (2) P120,000
An owner may calculate depreciation using the 'units of production' methods of depreciation. Consider a depreciable asset costing $100,000 that is expected to have a useful life of 120,000 Units of production. Salvage value is estimated to be negligible. Estimated annual production for the next 7 years is 30,000, 30,000, 20,000, and 10,000 per year over the remaining 4 years. Use the 'units of production' depreciation method and determine the depreciation each year.
Given an asset which has an initial cost of $100,000, Useful life of 4 years and a salvage value of 10,000. Use the DDB method to determine the depreciation allowances and the book values for year 1 through 4. You need to see whether switching to the SL method, at any year, is a wise decision.
An asset costs $1,000,000.00 and has an estimated residual value of $250,000.00 at the end of 5 years of use a) Calculate depreciation by the methods: linear, sum of digits and exponential b) Calculate the book values obtained by each method at the end of each year, and plot.
The cost of an asset is $1,200,000, and its residual value is $100,000. Estimated useful life of the asset is five years. Calculate depreciation for the second year using the double-declining-balance method of depreciation. (Do not round any intermediate calculations, and round your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
A machinery that costs $100,000, has a service life of 5 years and a salvage value of $10,000 at the end of service life. The Gross Income - Operating Expenses expected to be generated for the use of this machine is estimated to be $50.000 per year for up to 5 years. The Tax rate is 30% and the MARR afer tax is 8% per year. Using Double Declining Balance Method of depreciation, determine: Findthe total taxes paid for the five year period and the Net Present Worth(NPW) of these taxes paid. Find the Cash Flow After Tax(CFAT) and the NPW of this CFAT. (Construct/develop your CFAT table to answers these questions.)
Liquior Company has an equipment costing P700,000 with an estimated residual value of P70,000 and an estimated useful life of six years. After using and depreciating the asset for the past two years, the company upgraded the machine parts and the cost of upgrading amounted to P120,000. Assuming that the upgrading costs extended the asset’s economic useful life by an additional two years, what is the revised depreciation expense for the third year using the (1) straight-line method and (2) sum-of-the-years’ digits method?
A construction company is considering changing its depreciation from the MACRS method to the historical SL method for a general purpose hauling truck. The cost basis of the truck is $100,000, and the expected salvage value for depreciation purposes is $8,000. The company will use the truck for eight years and will depreciate it over this period of time with the SL method.What is the difference in the amount of depreciation that would be claimed in year five (i.e., MACRS versus SL)?
